This cave is a fosil one, 450m long and starts with a 10m pit. Its channels are nicely ornamented. The existence of red clay makes the white crystals even more visible. Gem-like forms, coralls and stalactites, pillars and stalagnits, white stones and small springlets are to be found everywhere.

The nicest form is the " Haystack", a 6m diameter and 8m tall stalgnit, or the "Bed of the Bride", a beautiful white springlet, with some red in the middle. The Tubs hall or the Bazins` hall names are sounding, the Polaris channel makes us climb 20m

The very few who were there told that there are crystal-walls, 5m deep watery or dry abysses, steep slopes, huge creatures and forms with assimetric crystals.

This cave is one of the richest ones with forms and shapes. In order to conserve it it had to be closed, it is not for visitors. It is an A category cave, meaning that it has an extraordinary value, belonging to the national and international cave heritage.
