The cave's interior is out of a story book, with stalactites, stalacmites and gigantic round dripstones, cathedral like openings, waterfalls and tight spots to dive and press through. Was a real adventure
As a coward I can’t help but recall that YouTube channel that specializes in horrible cave deaths when someone mentions tight spots of potentially uncharted darkness… make it safe and have fun!
The oldest traces of mankind in the cave go back to the Celtics, so quite some time ago. It is well explored. The cave is only accessible with licensed guides. We went in the first kilometer, where everything is still pretty tame, no protracted crawling etc + it was a dry day with low water levels. But yeah, 2h in and you know you will take 2h again to get out. That's the point where you start wondering what happens if someone breaks their ankle...
The guide explained to us that there is a cave rescue team that comes and gets you out of anything happens, but it takes roughly 14 h to get someone injured back out again o.O
14 hours??! I’d be dead by then, even if I just stubbed my toe!
