Magnificent and impressive natural cavity that can be explored with a lamp. At the bottom there are beautiful ice formations even in summer. This phenomenon is due to the shrinkage of the cavity
which traps cold air at the bottom. When moisture seeps through the ceiling, the temperature is low enough for the water to freeze and form stalactites.

Big cave which can be explored. Don't forget to bring flash lights and adapted footwear.

Impressive cavity, possibility of exploring it thanks to an opening on both sides which gives enough light to enter even without a headlamp.
