The small entrance is located somewhat inconspicuously between larger rocks in the middle of a scree field. Two ropes allow climbing into the first chamber of the cave.

At approximately 1340 m, these caves are the second longest system of ancient rock caves in Europe. The entrance is open and accessible to everyone. There are ropes, but be warned that this is a dangerous undertaking without a guide. Finding the entrance between countless large rocks is not easy. Look for yellow markings on the rocks. They will lead you there.

There are various display boards on site about the geological history of this section of the coast. I think the special thing is that it is round-washed basalt.

If I understood correctly from the relevant display board, the special feature of this section of coast is that it consists of round-washed basalt. Looks a bit like a rocky desert. It's a bit strenuous to hike through due to its nature, but it's still very special.

At this point you will find a rest area with a small seating area, a fireplace, a mostly well-stocked wooden shed & all with a sea view.
