Sintesi:
Forest gorge with optional caves. Interesting to do with a higher flow. Key passages are well bolted, but also some (single) 8mm on partially bad rock with a mix of metal remain. More caves in the area (also next to the exit).

Accesso:
Parking space at exit is limited when the fields are too wet for a car.
Avvicinamento (10 min):
Recommended on foot, right bank, trail starts at the houses, zigzags steeply at first, but soon mellows down, until we can change gear in an open field before tackling a few (obvious) meters of plants to enter the river bed.
Giro (2 h 30):
First abseil is the biggest one, takes you straight in the flow as well. It has intermediate anchor (exp.) after a few meters on a slippery wall. A footloop will be helpful. The next part is pretty deep & narrow, unfortunately with trees. The caves (yes, multiple) are hither & there, quite narrow or you need to climb up a rope to enter.
Ritorno (10 min):
By the little forest cabin, exit is immediately on the left bank.

Done after intense period of rain, almost regretted when i saw the amount of trees in the flow, but all went smoothly. First anchors are quality 10mm, chain... However soon follow a couple 8mm on cracked or loose rock. Had to look hard to find them (removed plants, moss...) also one place is without possibility for a decent anchor, a tree is used. Removed some fixed ropes. Checked out 4 caves in total. Rockfall.
