Mountain climb & an underground reward

A steep paved trail leads to a guided tour through richly decorated limestone caves. The approach and cave visit together make an active outing rather than a simple walk-in attraction.

Before you go

Reserve tours and assess the climb, elevation and time commitment for every guest. Access is seasonal and weather dependent.

Give the place time

Choose a manageable walk, viewpoint or tour, and allow time for interpretation. Gateway areas help orient the visit; they are not exact entrance directions.

Make the details easy

Confirm the specific facilities, walking surfaces and vehicle access your group needs. Tours, transport and special access may require separate arrangements.
