Abîme de Bramabiau, Geological cave system in Saint-Sauveur-Camprieu, France.
Abîme de Bramabiau is a cave system formed in limestone with an underground river flowing through it. A network of passages can be explored on foot, with water constantly shaping the landscape beneath the surface.
Exploration of the system began in 1888 when a pioneering speleologist conducted a comprehensive survey. This marked the beginning of scientific study of underground landscapes in France.
The passages showcase natural rock formations and water reflections that shape the underground landscape. It is a place where visitors can experience firsthand the power of water moving through the depths.
Access is via well-marked paths that lead through the cave passages and are relatively easy to walk. The temperature underground remains cool year-round, so bring warmer clothes and sturdy footwear.
A stream emerges from a narrow rock fissure before flowing down into the underground passages. The visible height of this fissure creates a striking sight at the system's entrance.
