Exploring the cave beneath Rudi village, as far as the stone that looks like a crocodile

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it if you want raw exploration with no facilities and you come equipped. The first metres are walked crouched, and further in the tunnel narrows so much that you have to crawl.

The story

Cave beneath the cemetery of the village of Rudi, accessible around the clock. One visitor describes the descent as steep, with sharp stone edges that help you hold on but that you would not want to fall on, and with steps cut into the ground at the entrance that make the way down easier. The first fifty metres are walked half-crouched, the ceiling being around a metre and a half, and the air is very humid, though the temperature does not differ much from outside. In the last chamber there is a stone that looks like a crocodile, and beyond it the tunnel narrows to some fifty centimetres and can only be passed by crawling. One visitor came across a bat sleeping peacefully, another saw none but reports a lot of rubbish left inside, bottles and plastic. Both say the same thing: come equipped.

  • “Ok”

    - Sasha Tcaci
  • “The cave is easy to walk through, at least the first 50 meters or so. At the entrance there are some steps in the ground, they help quite a bit when going down to the wet ground. There are sharp corners on the edges, but they are not dangerous to hold on to. I would not recommend falling on them. You walk semi-sitting, the bridge is quite low, about 1.5m. I came across a singl…”
