The wind cave is located in Versilia in the park of the Apuan Alps at 600 meters above the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cave is of karst nature and was formed over millions of years, it is about 4,500 meters long<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and has a total height difference of 125 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests the main feature of the wind cave is the strong wind<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that runs along its entire length, especially the gusts are very intense at the beginning of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only practicable opening is located 650 meters above sea level, but it is assumed that there is one<\/p>\n\n\n\n

another higher in altitude that allows the recirculation of the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the cave the temperature is constant and measures about 10 degrees, this characteristic leads<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to a unique phenomenon of the \"wind tube\" caves: during the summer when the outside temperature is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

hotter than that inside the cave, the air is expelled in the main opening at the bottom;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

during the winter, however, when the internal air is warmer than the external air, it is expelled into the <\/p>\n\n\n\n

cavity higher than altitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the cave, fossil remains of an ancient bear and a small rodent were found<\/p>\n\n\n\n

testifies to the antiquity of the cave.<\/p>\n\n\n

The history of the wind cave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From 600 'to 800' the cave was used as a refrigerator to keep food cool<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in very sultry summer periods, taking advantage of the cold air that came out of the lower cavity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is said that the first person to set foot in the cave was a child who was just for fun<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pushed to venture into what at the time was just a small hole, the little girl told her when she came out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that the cave widened considerably and continued, the interest struck everyone who enlarged the forum <\/p>\n\n\n\n

of entrance to allow exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1964 a group of Bolognese speleologists were exploring the Apuan Alps when they encountered<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a local who indicated the presence of a large cave still unexplored, the three speleologists<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus began the exploration of the wind cave with its wonderful stalactites and stalagmites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
