Locals were only familiar with one of the cave's chambers before its discovery, which they utilized as an ice pit. The cave complex is 330 meters long and 122 meters deep. It's reached through 478 steps and a 600-meter-long walkway. It features all of the peculiarities of karst caves, including abysses, tunnels, various types of dripstones, shallow calcerous sinter pools, and ice dripstones in the winter, in addition to six chambers.

The caves' waters are likewise crystal pure, and the caves are home to a variety of species. Visits to the cave are limited to weekends and bank holidays, and only by appointment. Because the trip lasts around an hour, make sure to schedule it ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
