A journey into the heart of the earth to discover an extraordinary underground world!

Discover a fascinating underground world, where an enchanting display of limestone formations with astonishing shapes is enhanced by carefully designed lighting. The remarkable variety of formations will spark your imagination throughout the visit. After exploring the first level of the caves, you will descend the 250 steps leading to the abyss and the underground river.
