How small is man in these rooms
This is only a small part of the labyrinths of the Mammoth Cave. 50 km of it have been explored to date. The largest part, however, will always remain hidden from people and light.
In the Midnight Dome , a multivisual image projection gives you an insight into this fascinating world without the sun. You will experience the cave explorers in underground gorges, shafts and ravines. You will encounter cave animals and small forms of unimagined beauty. You will return to daylight enriched by the experience of a speleologist.
CAVE TREKKING or CAVING is also carried out mainly in the Mammut Cave. Under the guidance of an experienced cave guide, you follow in the footsteps of the cave explorers. Wearing an overall made of top-quality material and secured by a rope, you climb parts of the cave that are far from the normal route.
