Believlng
in a fishermen report, speaking of a route Inside the mountain leading
to a big lake, I discovered with Marco Oliverio and Alessandra Novelli,
this beautiful cave. Creeping along the ground, crawling on all fours,
at least standing up, we walked close by any kind of marvellous rock
formations, small sandy beaches, rocky needles, towers, arabesques.
Finally the lake! After a swim in its warm waters (24°c) we noticed an
opening in the bottom. Outside, in shallow water was the underwater
entrance: a very low horizontal opening leading to the main cuniculus
where we found white sulphureous waters. At the beginning there was a
rocky bottom, after a right angle bend with columns and stalagmites, It
became muddy. We were on the way! Arriving at a solitary column, where
the sulphureous spring comes out, we started ascending toward the lake
surface. I'll never forget the moment me and Marco reached Alessandra
waiting for us in the cave. I hanged an uncomfortable grey plastic tube
where a brown fishing rope was rolled up. The serious reels were far to
come. Ollvler Isler and Claude Touloumdjlan, very famous cave divers,
appreciated a lot when I took them to this cave, during the
International Meeting 'Speleoduemila". |
