    About the small pit are no historical records available. The drawings, like the globe, on the wall and on the ridge helped to name the astronomical cave.

      Not much is known about this pit. Presumably, she was a test tunnel, which proved not fruitful and was soon abandoned. The name may be derived from a world globe drawing found inside the pit. At the entrance you can see the remains of a blue star at the ridge of the cave.

      Cave well because it does not start with a narrow passage right at the beginning, but directly with a chamber.

      Impressive!
