Mareminehollet, Natural cave in Rothaugen, Norway.
The entrance of Mareminehollet starts with a 10-meter crawling tunnel that leads to a small chamber with limited vertical space.
During the 1960s, the cave's natural formation was intersected by the construction of a bomb shelter, limiting access beyond the initial chamber.
The cave features in Ludvig Holberg's 1741 novel 'Niels Klim's Underground Travels', considered the first Nordic science fiction novel.
Visitors can reach the cave entrance by climbing granite steps from Nye Sandviksveien, where a platform with benches was installed in 1984.
Local tales speak of a mermaid living in the cave during higher sea levels, while others claimed it connected underground passages to different parts of Bergen.
