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.
