Morphology

Behind the 12-metre-wide and 5-metre-high entrance portal one reaches a vast, 25-metre-high chimney. Two short passages branch off to the side, one of which leads to a chimney that extends 20 metres upward. The broad but low rear part of the cave becomes ever narrower until it is impassable.

Speleothems

The broad but low rear part of the cave has many moonmilk deposits and interesting corrosion forms.
