Located a few hundred meters below Monte Cumin, this cave is very particular in its development and morphology. It consists of two channels that are accessed from a fairly small entrance. Both channels can only be explored on all fours. On the day of our exploration, the ceiling, already rich in lava rock melting phenomena, was affected by many ice stalactites that did not make the visit easy, but certainly more fascinating. The impression inside is precisely that of being inside venous ventricles. The fact of being two channels, which recall the right and left ventricle, made us lean towards this name. We were not able to explore the overall development of the hypogeum, but a few dozen meters, due to the presence of ice. The cavity is located a few dozen meters from the Grotta del Muschio. See census.
