    Mountain biking

    Nice cave with two entrances and several cross connections, the passage length is about 100m. The somewhat arduous ascent, leaving the bike down below, is worth it, don't forget your torch.

    Hiking

    From October to the end of March you should avoid exploring the cave. During this period the caves serve as winter quarters for bats.

    Hiking

    In the meantime a path to the dwarf cave has been created. That was not a couple of years ago when I last visited. Nevertheless, the last part is not that easy, quite steep and a little craggy. Also be careful when descending. A good profile is recommended.
