Description

Martin Ellis - 01/08/2019

Although the online refence says there are big caves in the isolated limestone hill only one of them was found on a visit in January 2012. This cave is reached by 106 steps on the south-western end of the hill. The entrance is 10m wide x 5m high and opens onto a chamber 40m across with shrine and skylight. There are also three hot water springs with water at 40-45¦C in the grounds of the park.
