From the municipality of Erba it is possible to head towards the Lead Hole, an imposing Jurassic cave recognized in 2007 by the Lombardy Region as a site of archaeological and environmental interest, of extreme importance from a geological point of view. The imposing cave, dug almost entirely in Majolica, shows itself with a majestic entrance (45 meters high, 38 meters wide) and conceals a labyrinth of tunnels still partly unexplored which extend for almost 400 metres. To get to the Hole of Lead, two itineraries are possible.
– The first starts from Piazza GB della Salle, a hamlet of Crevenna (Erba), where it is possible to leave the car and then take the asphalt road from which to then follow the signs for “Buco del Piombo”. After reaching Cascina Mirabello (via the asphalt road) and following a paved mule track, you pass the Alpina restaurant and then Cascina Zoccolo. A long staircase, made up of 150 steps of unequal height, leads to the entrance of the cave after an hour's walk.
– The second option, shorter but more demanding than the previous one, starts again from Piazza GB della Salle and winds along a path that starts from via dei Castani (Trattoria Cà Nova) and continues up to the entrance of the cave.
