Placed at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level, the village of Ulassai is perfect for the people keen on plunging into nature.
Beyond this, it has one of the most beautiful caves in Europe, the “Su Marmuri” cave (“su marmuri ” means “marble”), which is few kilometres far from the centre, at the end of an asphalt road.
You will find its imposing entrance at the top of a steep slope; once you have reached it, 200 steps will lead down into the bowels of the earth.
The itinerary inside the cave measures 850 meters, all on the same level; the visit includes many rooms whose one is called “big room” because it is 72 meters long and 30 large.
But the marvels do not end as during the route you will meet two subterranean lakes, while gigantic stalagmites rise from the floor of the cave; some of them take on particular shapes, as those inside the “cactus room”, which remind of the tropical plants.
