It was a nice day with the family. Good parking with a starting point for many nice tours. It is also good to climb in the gorge and there is a lot to discover and a nice picnic spot. I will gladly come again.

This was never a sandstone cave, and it isn't now, and it never will be. They should have read the information sign on site.
