If you want to illuminate them with tea lights, you should take a whole bag with you. And a rubbish bag: for the burned-out little lights. Attention, it is slightly slippery on the greasy stones... Have fun!!

Currently, you are allowed to light tea lights (no other candles!) in the cave using special holders on the stainless steel railing. However, please bring a flashlight or use your smartphone light.
The cave is closed during winter (October 1-March 31) to protect the bats.

Shortly after the entrance opens up a huge cave, which was lit by candlelight. Just great!
