Tips
French soldiers are said to have used the small cave as a resting place in 1796. It has a striking double entrance and a large vestibule, approx. 60m long in total. It's best to approach from the wind hole, then you don't have to push.

Very steep terrain, pushing is more popular here than driving.
But a worthwhile highlight.translated by•April 22, 2023
