Vaccheria cave
Purely indicative georeferencing. To review!!
The cave opens almost at the southern tip of Cozzo Paterna (m 354) to the east of the large Perciata cave, so called due to the collapse of the vault. Attending a small herd did not allow the inspection of the soil. In the ground in front of it, for a radius of about a hundred meters, the presence of flint splinters, some obsidian, clay fragments, etc. can be observed. These are finds that certainly come from inside the cave.
