Description

The cave starts with a meander 40m long. In summer, air was flowing out of the tunnel. One can observe bat guano inside the narrow passage. At the end of the meander, there is a room with considerable size and height. At the other side of the room, the meander continues, but with small impractical size. There was a 15m long artifical climb completed, but continuation is blocked by small boulders at the end of small passage. Very interesting cave.
