Monte Cucco, Limestone summit in province of Perugia, Italy.
Monte Cucco rises 1,566 meters above sea level in the Umbrian-Marche Apennines, featuring extensive limestone formations and numerous caves throughout its structure.
Since 1291, the central section of Monte Cucco has remained under the management of the University of Native Men of Costacciaro, preserving traditional land practices.
The mountain's name derives from 'Kukka', an ancient Italic term referring to a rounded elevation used for religious ceremonies and mountain worship.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with guided tours available through the cave system requiring advance reservations and specialized equipment.
The mountain contains a vast network of underground caves extending 35 kilometers in length and reaching depths of 922 meters below the surface.
