Mountaineering

Il-Latnija or Mellieħa Cave (sometimes simply THE Cave) is a sinkhole at the northwest end of the island that offers some of the most difficult climbing routes on the island. An El Dorado for overhang fans. Safety devices were checked and renewed in 2017 and last for 50 years. Climbing in the shade is very pleasant.

Hiking

You can no longer access this cave as it has been fenced off due to rock fall

Completely fenced and not accessible, you can only look through the fence a bit...
