Abisso di Malga Fossetta

Abisso di Malga Fossetta (The Abyss of Malga Fossetta) is a deep cavity of the plateau of the Sette Comuni, a complex of karst full of caves (2, 562 explored in 2009). The abyss is located in the municipality of Enego, in the province of Vicenza. The abyss of Malga Fossetta, with its currently known depth of more than 1,000 m, is the second deepest cavity in Veneto (the first to be discovered to exceed 1000 m deep) and one of the deepest in Italy. Recent discoveries see a possible connection with the Grotta della Bigonda (one of the largest Italian caves) that would thus bring the depth of the abyss to more than 1,400 m, making it the deepest cave in Italy.
