For excursions hiking shoes, warm clothing, rain shield and backpack are necessary! Helmets, lamps and overalls will be provided for all participants, who don’t have own equipment. Please note that participation in the cave excursions is at your own risk and responsibility! All starting points of our excursions are only reachable by car. Please inform us on your registration form, whether you will be arriving by private car (or by public transport) and how many free seats you have, so we can organize carpools if necessary.
