A not very deep cave, which also serves as shepherd's house, drinking and milking place. At least in June 2019, a trickle of fresh water will be swelling out of a sinus. On a somewhat precarious and apparently not yet marked way you could descend further west into the Eligia Gorge (it is said) ...

Hiking

The path through some gravel slopes, which is critical in many places, is marked with very small red dots, which can often only be found with luck. GPS highly recommended. There is an upper (with climbing points) and a lower variant of the path to the spectacular viewpoint above the gorge. From there it's easy to the coast.
Cover skin! There are plenty of pine processionary moths (hair) there!

Hiking

In 2023 it will be very detailed and clearly signposted with blue dots every 5m. NO dangerous spots visible. Incredibly beautiful tour with alpine flair, even possible in hot weather, most of the route leads through beautiful pine forests
