Wonderful cave but gloves are recommended because of the grip, the bird droppings and because of the risk of cuts. Furthermore, necessarily take a helmet and headlamp if you want to penetrate deeper into the cave. Maybe it would have been advisable to wear a FFP1 or 2 respirator, since the dust of the pigeon feces may not contain completely harmless germs. Please do not do it with children. Deeper in the cave, high surefootedness and a little climbing skills are required. Claustrophobics please only descend into the main cave.

Hiking

First you see this narrow cave entrance to which you have to climb. THIS IS THE WRONG INPUT. CAUTION HAZARD. Opposite, however, is a staircase-like climb leading to the right entrance. Please note the white cross. Just climb so high until you can not get higher, there you will see a descent into a kind of rock amphitheater. This also forms the entrance to the cave.
