The cave is a collapse cave with two entrances. The short course overcomes a height difference of a few meters in easy climbing. Despite the small size, it is initially dark when entering. Artificial lighting is not absolutely necessary but recommended.

If you want to experience a little adventure, you can crawl through the herring cave here. It is really pitch dark in the cave, a flashlight is an advantage. If you do not want to go through the dark cave, you can of course pass it by.

Not the fish gave this place the name, but the discoverer.
