I still remember from my childhood, when there was no grid attached. Equipped with a kerosene lamp and a rope we climbed down the vertical shaft about 5m, down there was a larger room - similar to a cellar vault. Nobody knew where we were, no I-Phone or even a cave equipment .--- we were heroes !!!!

Access to the cave is right on the road. A hiking sign points in all directions, just not to the cave. The path is very steep but short - it starts at a drain next to the road.
The cave is also called the "murder hole".
