Description

From the caves, a 2-km walk leads you through a picturesque karst limestone landscape across farmland and regenerating bush to a point where you can take in the magnificent views. Within the entrance to the caves themselves, you will find stalactites, stalagmites and glow worms. The caves are wet and slippery inside. The inner cave area is suitable for experienced cavers only. A torch and suitable footwear are necessary. Sinkholes are a common feature of karst landscapes. Stay on the track and closely supervise small children. Although classed as a Walking Track, the track is not always well formed. The track is wet, muddy and slippery at times. It is suitable for people of most ages and fitness levels. Dogs are not permitted.
