description
The approximately 6 meter long keyhole has two entrances or day openings. The approximately 1 meter high and 0.4 meter wide portal of the main entrance resembles the shape of a keyhole . From the main entrance a 2.8 meter long corridor leads to the northwest, which rises by about 1.5 meters. The corridor ends in a horizontal corridor, which after 1.5 meters becomes too low to be passable. A silt in the front part of the cave leads to the second cave entrance. Daylight reaches all cave rooms through the two entrances.
The rocky cave floor is covered by a layer of humus in the entrance area and by a sandy layer of dry clay in the horizontal passage. On the cave walls you can discover some pearl sinter jewelry .
