This cave bears the name outlaw Zeicu, very well known in these lands. He is attributed to the traces of human dwelling in the first easily accessible room. The entrance of the cave is quite large and after the first hall follows a 12m high chimney. Upon overcoming the chimney, it reaches a hall with many concretions. Also here or found traces of Ursus Spelaeus cavern bear. From this room a hole with a depth of 48m opens. Those who descend this vertical can admire a stalactitium of over 12m (one of the largest in the country).
