Access

The Cava d'Iàspica is reached either from Mädica in a southeasterly direction or from Iàspica in a northwesterly one. The visitor needs to travel on the SS 115 as far as Béttola dle Capitano (6 or 11km/3.5 or 7mi), where he should turn off northwards, arriving after 5.5km/3.5mi at the Cava. It is advisable to request a guide at one of the houses at the beginning of the valley.
