Grotta di Equi Terme
Tuscany
The cave sits above Equi Terme, a tiny spa hamlet in the Lunigiana, and has yielded Ice Age cave-bear fossils now shown in a small on-site museum. A short guided walk leads through chambers of dripstone formations before the trail continues to a thermal spring gushing straight from the rock. The surrounding Apuane peaks are riddled with lesser-explored karst systems.
