Tips

Hiking

You will DEFINITELY require waterproof shoes to enjoy the whole 500 m watery exploration 'Tatare Waltz'! ;) Also, be equipped with a torch or head light as recommended in flyers and guides! Xou will have to get back the same way as the aqueduct at the other end of the tunnel is unstable qnd thus inacsessible!

Hiking

Towards the end of the tunnel, turn off your lamp and let your eyes adjust for a minute to see beautiful colonies of „glow worms“.
