Glassmakers' Cave
Highlight • Other
It's clearly a natural cave, but very short (4m).
A quick crossing that requires no equipment 😂
Nice to see, but rather disappointed; I was expecting a "real" cavern.

Small ones, medium ones, and very large ones!
The trail is pleasant, well-maintained, easy, and well worth the effort, even if it's over in about an hour.
