Visitor tips

  • Wear warm layers and a fleece or jacket, as the cave’s indoor temperature stays around 8–12°C even on sunny summer days. Closed-toe, non-slip shoes are essential for wet surfaces.
  • Bring a camera with high ISO settings because low light inside makes flash photography less effective. A small daypack to carry your essentials is advisable.
  • Listen carefully to your guide’s instructions, especially regarding staying at a safe distance from delicate formations and refraining from touching the natural sculptures.
  • Plan extra time for the charming train ride from the parking area to the cave entrance, ensuring you catch the pre-scheduled departure during busy seasons.
  • Check the local weather before your trip, as mountain storms may affect access and require schedule changes. Pack rain gear and monitor official updates before departure.
