To reach the foot of the mountain we have to cross several sharp curves and then 40 minutes walk to the entrance of the cave. 

There are 2 entrances into the cave close to each other about 1.5 meter high and 1 meter wide, one has to bend down to enter the cave, the cave is very dark and long, slippery and wet, the bed of the cave is pretty large, up to 50 meter with high ceiling, many stone shoots and stalagmites are found in the cave couples with little pools with water dripping down from the ceiling, everything in the cave is still wide and natural.
