Spluga della Preta, Natural cave system in Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo, Italy
The Spluga della Preta extends 877 meters below ground, featuring multiple chambers and passages within the limestone formations of northern Verona province.
Initial geological documentation occurred in 1898 by Enrico Nicolis, president of the Italian Alpine Club of Verona, leading to the first organized expedition in 1925.
Multiple international spelunking teams, including groups from Belgium, England, and Poland, regularly conduct research expeditions in this vertical cave system.
The entrance to the cave system requires professional climbing equipment and extensive caving experience due to its technical vertical drops and narrow passages.
The cave includes a notable chamber called Sala Nera at 875 meters depth, with a discovered window passage leading to the current bottom at 877 meters.
