    ---- German version below ------

    In the past it was even possible to swim in a cave, today it is forbidden.
    Incidentally, this cave is also a location of the Season 3 series Game of Thrones: (ATTENTION SPOILER) when Jon Snow loses his innocence;)


    ----------------

    In the past you could bathe in the cave, today it is forbidden.
    This cave is the shooting season of the season: (ATTENTION SPOILER) as Jon Snow loses his innocence;)

      Nice to stop here, but not to take a bath here.

        Great and hot grotto, unfortunately no longer for swimming.
