Description

Morphology

An easy cave with a winding but single gallery with a developed length of about 150 metres. The gallery is wide, of alluvial type, and a few short passages require a little stooping.

Speleothems

A richly decorated cave: stalactites, stalagmites and columns.

Hydrology

Grotte chaude (warm cave), humid. Caution: Grotte chaude (warm cave) to avoid in rainy weather, as rapid flooding is possible because it is connected to a structure collecting runoff water from the road.

Other details

Very many arachnids cross paths inside, as well as bats.
