What you see underground here is a natural wonder with real stalactites.
But please do not cancel anything.

Great cave. Unfortunately, many things have been destroyed, but still worth seeing. The entrance is located below the rock formation.

You have to look for entry into the cave, but you will be rewarded with many small stalagmites and stalactites. ;-)

If others had held back, one would be able to see more here ...
