Grotte di Petrosa-Auletta
The Petrosa-Auletta Caves, which are 263 meters above sea level, are a unique natural treasure in Europe. This is one of the most beautiful caves in Italy. They are located on the eastern side of the Alburni mountains in Muraglione, 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) south of Pertosa and adjacent to its railway station. The caverns are abundant in water due to the presence of the Tanagro river, and there is an underground lake after the main entrance. It is the only speleological site in the world where you can traverse the underwater waters. Stalactites and stalagmites that have evolved so much that they have built genuine columns may be found inside these amazing caverns, which are 45 minutes from Salerno (in Campania). These caverns are a huge underground monument that has been around for over a million years and are one of the safest locations on the planet.
The cave's magical ambiance has also inspired the theater, giving a visit to the grotto a truly unique Italian experience. The Petrosa Caves do host a number of theater productions.
You can visit some portions of the cave on foot and others by boat after purchasing a ticket. If you require additional information, please go here. Casale il Sughero, which is surrounded by sea and mountains, is about an hour distant by automobile. If you want to enjoy a quiet and calm night, this is the place to go! Casale il Sughero is well-known for its pastoral hospitality and stunning sea views. Furthermore, the food is fresh and grown in the organic garden. Those interested in exploring the area can choose from a variety of ecotourism programs offered by the hotel.
The Soil Museum and the Speleological and Archeological Museum are adjacent, both of which display evidence of man's prehistoric travel through caverns. Thanks to the close proximity to the Parco Nazionale Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni, a UNESCO Worldwide Geopark, anyone who enjoys the outdoors will be spoiled for choice when it comes to journeys and itineraries.
