The walking trail is short and easy, approximately 800 m, suitable for walking or MTB/Gravel. You can’t walk very far into the cave, but the cave and its surroundings are very impressive. The forest around the cave is a designated Heritage Forest. A headlamp or flashlight is recommended for better visibility inside the cave. Use caution if you plan to climb on top of the cave, as there are no safety rails on the cliffs.
