Hiking
The grotto is no longer accessible; it has been closed off by a gate. The stairs and the "balcony" from which one could look through the gate into the grotto and onto the glacier have completely collapsed. It is difficult and dangerous to descend to the gate, and there is little to see there: the glacier has unfortunately shrunk considerably and is buried under many tree trunks, so you can't see much anymore. The path there, however, is very beautiful, and the forest is very pristine, like a small jungle.
