The main room, 6 meters long, 2 meters wide and 3 meters high, runs along a gap in an east-west direction . At the beginning of the main room a narrow chasm branches off to the northeast, which leads to the open after a distance of about 3 meters. From the southern wall of the main room a descending chasm branches off to the south-west. This passage, over 3 meters high and between 0.5 and 1 meter wide, bends to the west after 5 meters and ends after another 13 meters.
