Tips
Close to the Oswald Cave, very impressive and with lots of little hiding spots, descend into the underworld.

The entrance to the joke cave is 9 meters wide and less than 2 meters high. After the entrance, there is a hall about 35 meters long, 16 meters wide and 5 meters high. Walking the hall is a bit difficult because the rocks are wet and slippery.

Well-accessible karst cave a bit off the main hiking route, but worth the detour. I estimate the size to be 15m wide and 30m deep. In addition, it is 5m high enough so that standing is no problem. The way down to the cave is quite steep and in autumn with all the leaves you have to be careful.
