    Worth seeing cave with little headroom and muddy flooring

      The cave is approximately 51 meters long and runs horizontally through the Jurassic rock. Its keyhole profile is particularly interesting, making it unique. There is no lighting, so a flashlight is recommended.

        A nice little cave that is easy to enter. Non-slip shoes are an advantage.
