Natural cavity from the Devonian period discovered around 1881, 19 meters long, whose narrow entrance leads to a bell-shaped chamber.
Description
Morphology
Small entrance the width of a man; a descent and a fairly easy climb back up for a man of average height give access to a small bell-shaped chamber, large enough to hold at most six people standing. The continuation of the cavity is opposite the entrance, in a small hole barely wide enough to slip through crouched between the walls. Indicated length of the cavity: 19 meters; length explored during my visit: about 7 meters.
Progression
The continuation of the cavity, opposite the entrance, leads through a small hole barely wide enough to slip through crouched between the walls to an unrecorded chamber; this chamber was explored by a single person during an old expedition, and no information concerning the continuation was found in the archives. Officially, few people have managed to get through this passage due to lack of space, and I myself have not yet gotten through this passage.
