The cave was discovered in the 18th century, although it is presumed that it was used by pre-historic people.^[1] The cave was opened in 1884 and electrically lit in 1896.

Entrance to the cave is located at an altitude of 890 metres. The cave is 3,641 m long^[2], with two circuits available to the visitors, with the longer one having the length of 1,752 m.^[1]
