Family expedition to the Siech cave

The Siech cave, family caving

The Siech Cave does not require rappelling or any rope technique whatsoever. No, the Siech Cave is a horizontal progression through a cavity full of wonders for adults and children! We welcomed a family with two little ones who we dressed as miners without picks and we went to see the treasures of the cave!

It is an easy route where you can discover the incredible shapes that the rock takes underground. Stalactites, stalagmites, columns, drinking fountains, you can find everything in the Siech cave! Filled with the unsuspected beauties of the underground world, everyone is amazed.

It’s a journey through the ages of the Earth. Our little ones listened fascinated as Rod talked about the geological formation of the mountains, ancestors of our world. A journey through time, a discovery, a change of scenery, an adventure with the whole family, from the youngest to the oldest.
