This trip is only for sportive people! It is a special trip into a cave and lasts between 5-6 hours (depending on your condition!). Possible date: 28.2.2008 (you must have time on that day). The tour leads 4km deep into the cave (the normal guided tours don't go that far). We will use carbid lamps (special head lamps for caves). You explore small canyons, have to climb and descend with ropes, crawl on all fours and pass a clear lake within in the cave (so expect to get wet). For real Vikings it is possible to swim out on the way back (then you will be completely wet of course) (Cave temperature: about 10°C, water temperature 8-9°C)

(This trip is only offered by the cave at this time of the year. It is not possible to do it much later!)
