Bussento Caves, Protected natural oasis in Morigerati, Italy.

The Bussento Caves are a WWF oasis of 607 hectares in the municipality of Morigerati, in the province of Salerno, within the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. The visit includes a water mill active until about 1960, a cave and the Bussento stream, and takes about two hours. The visitor centre is at Piazza Piano della Porta 17 in Morigerati.

The visit route includes a water mill that stayed in operation until about 1960, driven by the water of the Bussento. It is one of the stops on the walk through the oasis, together with a cave and the stream, and shows how the river was used for grinding grain.

The World Wildlife Fund manages this 607-hectare natural reserve, promoting environmental education and conservation of native species.

Wear sturdy footwear since the path is made of stone and can be slippery near the water. Arriving early in the day helps you explore the area with more space and enjoy the surroundings fully.

The river vanishes underground at Caselle in Pittari and reappears here after traveling roughly 7 kilometers through hidden passages beneath the earth. This hidden network reveals the complex geology formed by limestone and water over time.
