Hiking

Visiting the Frasassi Caves in Italy is an unforgettable experience. As soon as you enter the underground world, you feel a special atmosphere—mysterious and impressive at the same time. I was particularly overwhelmed by the Hall of Giants, also known as the Sala del Gran Canyon. With a length of over 200 meters, a width of 150 meters, and a height of up to 40 meters, it is one of the largest cave halls in Europe. The huge stalagmites and stalactites look like a fairytale landscape and give you a sense of the immense power of nature.

Surely the most famous caves in Italy, marvelous, immense in size, stalactites of over 20m, organs of stalagmites, absolutely deserve a detour.

The Frasassi caves are underground karst caves located in the territory of the municipality of Genga.
The complex is made up of a huge series of underground rooms of which the first, which can be easily visited by the public, is the Ancona Abyss, a huge cavity that has an extension of 180 x 120 m and a height of 200 m; it is so large (over two million m³ of volume) that the Duomo of Milan could easily be contained within it.
