FAQ

Do I have to pay for parking ?

Nope, parking is completely free for guests. We have a large lot right next to the entrance.

Do I need any special clothing or gear?

No special gear needed. Just wear your usual outdoor clothes. It can be a little cooler inside the cave during summer, so we recommend bringing a light jacket.

How is the access to the caves?

It’s a short walk, about 100 meters from the parking area. The path is natural, a bit grassy and earthy, but manageable. There’s a gentle slope of around 12 degrees. Most people have no problem walking up. Our oldest visitor so far was 92 years young! The caves are not accessible by wheelchair.

Do I need to book in advance?  

We recommend booking ahead to make sure you get the time slot you want. If you’re nearby and want to join, just stop by. We’ll do our best to fit you in if there’s space.
