    Hiking

    Accompanied by a guide, the entrance area of the show cave can be visited. Adult admission €6.
    The Piusa sandstone caves are the result of manual glass sand mining between 1922 and 1966.
    The largest colony of bats in Eastern Europe also hibernates in the caves.
    There is a small circular path with information boards in the surrounding area, which leads through a dune landscape at one point.
    The ticket price includes an information film about the animal world in the caves and the surrounding area.
