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.
