Description
Brief description
The hamlet of Dollys is a few hundred yards from the huge doline which contains the tiny entrance from which an earthy slope leads into the 50 m x 20 m entrance chamber from where a small stream is followed through easy walking and gently descending passage to the low point of the cave where it disappears. At this low point breathing is difficult due to high levels of CO2. A little before this low point a slope leads 15 meters higher to a large almost circular chamber with a magnificent stal formation at the high point.
