Tips

The so-called ice caves were actually created for the extraction of millstones, which were laboriously hewn out of the rock here, only then they were used as an ice cellar, since it did not get warmer than 7 degrees even in summer, but they also served as a place of refuge in World War II, living today There are bats so that the caves can be entered, but only from April 15th to October 15th, a flashlight is advisable because the caves are very spacious

It's really beautiful there, the cold air that comes out of the tunnel is unbelievable.
A flashlight would be an advantage.

If you want to visit the ice caves from the inside, you should bring a flashlight and wear sturdy shoes. The caves can be visited from April 15th to October 15th.
The rest of the year belongs to the bats.
