Cave with a gallery through which a river flows, containing limestone concretions formed by the passage of water through ores
Discovered in the 13th century, the main gallery of this cave open to the public is over a kilometer long. A river runs through it, emerging 4 kilometers further on. Along the way, you'll discover the incredible colors of the limestone concretions, caused by the passage of water through the metallic ores of iron, manganese, copper and aluminum, which have been tinting the natural sculptures red, yellow, green and black for millennia. In the 1970s, work on the site led to the discovery of some fifteen complete cave bear skeletons.

Mon passage favori reste le pont en pierre au dessus de la rivière souterraine => on ne trouve ça nulle part ailleurs !
Mais heureusement, guide passionné, salle des pierres ouverte, ...
Une bonne halte, peut-être un peu longue (2,5 kms AR), sans apports particuliers : des concrétions, certes, mais pas de dessins rupestres,...
Seule la salle des pierres mérite vraiment le détour.
