    Is somewhat hidden on the left mountain slope of the path. You have to go up the path a bit steeply, then you get there directly. The entrance is partly walled up, but you can get in easily through a small slit. It's very cool inside. Freely accessible from April to October. After the entrance, a path on the left leads down to the large lake, about two by six meters in size.

    Please take flashlights with you and go in pairs, it is not without risk.

      Interesting cave. One could descend to a cave lake with proper gear.

        The cave lover is worth a visit for cave lovers. The narrow entrance requires some mobility. The cave is easy to walk through only in the middle section. It is best to use a safety rope for the side aisles.
