Incredible Mother Earth =) 26 July 2018 Nice Cave system, It changed in 9 years, new Beige color layer covering some areas, that previously had growing green algae like little forest =) Rivers run inside the cave, it is Cold inside 10 degree, bring a jaket, wear good none slip shoes. if coming by train to Vallorbe and do not want to walk for 30 minutes, arrange for taxi pickup from the train station, and book the return ahead of time 2-3 hours after. This trip is nice on a hot day, Go cool down =) @ the End of the cave, there is a cavity that can fit a 10 floor building =) A wow place. Incredible...
