    Tips

    From October to the end of March you should avoid exploring the cave. During this period the caves serve as winter quarters for bats.

      In the meantime a path to the dwarf cave has been created. That was not a couple of years ago when I last visited. Nevertheless, the last part is not that easy, quite steep and a little craggy. Also be careful when descending. A good profile is recommended.

        With flashlights you can go with children a bit into the cave and penetrate about 20m deep in different passages.
