In the 19th century, local workers extracted sandstone from these caves for construction and to make grinding stones for mills. The quarrying methods left visible marks on the rock walls.

The cave is open for visitors throughout the year with clearly marked trails starting from the information center. Guided tours in multiple languages are available to help you explore and understand the site.
The cave still displays marks and cuts from the time of sandstone quarrying, etched into the rock surfaces by workers. These archaeological traces reveal how extraction was done in earlier centuries.
