A MOONSCAPE-LIKE LANDSCAPE: THE VETRICIA PLATEAU
Compressed air bubbles
Many tunnels in the Grotta del Vento have been dug under pressure by water that completely filled them, exerting its erosive action in all directions. In that way circular passages have been formed, elliptical in shape or however round with evident signs left on the walls by the vortexes caused in the flow of water…

Stones that rise up
Normalmente il concetto di “sasso” è legato al suo peso:
“Pesante come un sasso”, “Cadere come un sasso”, “I sassi nell’acqua vanno subito a fondo”….Infatti non accade quasi mai che in natura i sassi possano salire, soprattutto su lunghi tratti aventi forti dislivelli.
Eppure nella Grotta del Vento ciò è accaduto, le prove sono inconfutabili e documentate fotograficamente…
Normally the concept of “stone” is associated with its weight, …“heavy as a rock”, “drop like a stone”, “stones in water go straight to the bottom”…. And in fact it almost never happens in nature that stones can rise up, especially over long tracts with big differences in height.
And yet in the Grotta del Vento it has happened, the proof is undeniable and documented with photographs. #grottadelvento garfagnana #curiosità #funfacts
