Bus de la Lum, Karst sinkhole in Caneva, Italy
The Bus de la Lum forms a vertical shaft that extends 180 meters deep into the Cansiglio plateau, featuring a single straight descent without any branching paths.
During World War II, the sinkhole became a burial site, with records indicating that numerous victims were placed within its depths between 1943 and 1945.
Local folklore connects the sinkhole to mythological creatures called Anguane, with stories of mysterious lights appearing near the opening during summer nights.
The sinkhole connects to the Pozzo dei Bellunesi cavity system at 80 meters depth, creating an extensive underground network that specialists continue to study.
Scientists believe the sinkhole links to the Gorgazzo and Livenza springs at the plateau's base, forming part of a complex underground water system.
