    Tips

    August 25, 2019

    The Bellohöhle is located right next to the "Kleines Kuhstall". The cave can be reached via a sloping rock slab and a short wall step. On the left you reach a chamber, which is followed by a crawl space with a diameter of approx. 60 cm, which leads to the bat room.
    You can leave the cave on the same path as you got in or try to reach the "Big Mouth Hole" via a tour. It is absolutely dark in the cave. Without a helmet with headlamp and flashlight as well as cave experience, I do not recommend getting in there. You should also be very slim to fit through the creeper.

      Narrow entrance, widens below, then next bottleneck. Flashlight and clothes that take what, necessary!

        As already mentioned, there are some bottlenecks and several rooms. You should not go in here without experience and equipment!
