The cave is one of the more challenging accessible caves in Slovakia, mainly due to the approximately 800 steps that need to be climbed during the tour (but it is suitable for everyone, judging by the fact that for me, as a person with an ankle joint repair, it was only a moderate effort). The only surprise was that from the parking lot to the ticket office - the entrance, it is a 10-15 minute walk with a significant elevation gain, but again, it is not difficult. I highly recommend a visit!
