I just love this cave. Even though it is not available to the public to just walk it whenever you want, you plan a reservation and you are in. The cave is amazing. With the darkness and the moisture, it just is pleasant. more

There are regularly scheduled cave tours, but you need check the schedule. Take your own flashlight. It is definitely worth checking out. When there is no cave tour it is still nice to walk the trails and enjoy the beauty of nature. more
