In the Useful Information block you find information in a very brief form, which makes some explanation necessary.

L Length of tour in meters. The guided tour may be longer than the cave itself, if the path follows a tunnel more than once.

D Duration of the tour in minutes. Be aware, that this may differ from guide to guide and depend on how big your group is and how much questions are asked.

V Visitors per year.
G maximum size of groups.
