The duration of the visit is 30 minutes. The temperature of the cave is between -3,9°C and 0°C, that’s why warm clothing is recommended in the cave. The entrace of the cave is located 130 m above brook Gölnic to where leads a 1 km long path that we complete within a 25 minutes walk. Before visiting the cave it is recommended to rest a little bit because the level difference between the car park and the entrance is 125 m.
