Visit to the heart of the cave of the young ladies
Activities: We took a funicular up to the entrance, then followed a guide through the stunning cave, admiring the stalactites and stalagmites. We saw the "Virgin and Child" formation, the light well, and a rare bat. We also descended to the enormous Cathedral Hall with its 52m height and 120m length
Highlights: The boys loved the funicular ride and exploring the cave, especially the cathedral hall and the bat! The guide made it extra interesting explaining the formations ✨
