The Grotte del Caudano
The Grotte del Caudano are located in the Miroglio district and consist of four levels of superimposed, interconnected horizontal passages. Together, these passages extend for more than 3 km. The Grotte del Caudano were discovered in 1898 during work on the Miroglio power plant. For your visit, it is important to note that the Grotte del Caudano can be visited at different times depending on the season; reservations are required.
Sentiero dell’Acqua and chestnut forests
The Sentiero dell’Acqua begins at the Grotte del Caudano and leads to Miroglio. After passing through the Borgata, it runs through extensive chestnut forests before returning to the Grotte del Caudano. The changing landscapes are particularly interesting if you would like to plan an excursion along a specific route.
Museum life and parish church
The Museo Etnografico della Montagna e della sua Gente is housed in the former school building in Miroglio. The Museo della Montagna e della sua Gente reconstructs domestic and professional life with clothing, household items, almost 1,000 agricultural implements and other objects from the first half of the 20th century. The Chiesa Parrocchiale di Miroglio is dedicated to Santa Maria and San Biagio.
The combination of clothing, household items, agricultural implements and other objects brings various aspects of everyday life into view: personal belongings, domestic routines and professional work. The focus on the first half of the 20th century gives this museum collection a clear historical framework.
