Tips

Sturdy footwear, at least a very (!) Strong lamp and a reserve lamp. The halls are sometimes very large and can only be enjoyed with plenty of light. Please also remember to inform somebody about the planned cave tour in case something happens!

This cave can only be safely entered with sturdy shoes and a strong main lamp and a reserve lamp. A cell phone lamp or even candles are definitely not enough: the halls are simply too big and the way back cannot be made out without clever lighting! This is the serious tip! (I'm a member of the cave rescue and I really know what I'm talking about). In addition, the cave experience is simply better with the right light!

The Cova Tancada is today the best known of the unknown caves. The somewhat adventurous way here prevents it from being overcrowded, it is no longer really lonely today. If we didn't meet a single one 13 years ago, we met 4 (smaller) groups in October 2021.

Because you are not pressed through here with 200 other people like in the big show caves, you can let the cave work on you in peace. It offers everything from narrow passages to large halls. However, one should not be fooled by the stairs built by the smugglers: the cave is not foolproof. The ground is slippery and in some places you have to be careful not to slip into deeper shafts.

Proper shoes are highly recommended for the walk there and for the cave itself. A household flashlight is not enough, it should have 1000 lumens.
