AROUND COLLEPARDO

This weekend we decided to make a little family tour to celebrate spring that finally seems to be here! We didn't plan anything but it turned out very well... as if we had planned everything carefully! We arrived in Collepardo but decided to visit the town after, to be sure not to miss the opening hours of the many attractions of the area! At first we visited the Collepardo's caves. Just one of the karstic caves is visitable and, according to the guide at the entrance, it has to be very very old. The stalactites and stalagmites create an incredible atmosphere, a little bit like alice's wonderland, so baroque and weird at the same time! There is a second smaller cave connected to this one but it was adopted as a residence by 5 different species of bats. They are still in hibernation, so we could see just one flying around. It probably decided to get up earlier (like those little annoying kids! ;)) In summer it should be all full of bats!
