Grotta del Bove, Taranta Peligna, Provincia di Chieti, Abruzzo, Italia
Cave located in the upper Taranta Valley, in the municipal territories of Taranta Peligna, nearby Cavallone cave (Grotta del Cavallone).
Both caves are uplifted trunks of a huge hypogenic sulfuric acid speleogenesis cave system (which also includes Asino and Mulo caves) now partly dismantled by surface erosion, but still holding evident signs of its speleogenetic past.
