    Tips

    April 20, 2025

    At first glance, the spiral sandstone staircase appears to be enclosed by a gate. However, this only prevents ascent. The descent leads into darkness via the stairs, which are partially slippery due to rubble, followed by a tunnel leading to a loooong, equally slippery staircase that descends into the depths. This tunnel then leads into a long, equally slippery tunnel with loopholes on the sides, at the end of which you return to daylight.

    Sturdy footwear and sufficient lighting, or good accident insurance, are recommended!
