The cave of Pellumbas
The cave of Pellumbas, one of the hidden pearls of the region, is situated about an hour hike from the house and on the way admire the spectacular views on the mountain and the valley.
40,000 years ago it was a home to ancient cave bears and was later used as a settlement for ancient humans in the Middle Paleolithic period. During the World Wars, it was kept secret and used as a hiding spot for the villagers.
With a wide entrance and high ceiling, the cave is approximately 360 meters deep but doesn’t demand special skills or equipment. Inside, a new world opens up to you : dark, fresh, with impressive stalagmites and stalactites, as well as bats flying around. Enjoy !
