I have visited· I would like to visit

rrmoser visited on 29th Apr 2018 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 4 no. 2 has two superb huge chambers just below the first major parking lot for the zoo. I visited alone. The site on the top of the hill labeled as no.1 in the description is also a fine chamber with reconstructed access passage. The site no. 3 was locked to entry. Despite being on the grounds of a very busy park and zoo these sites were peaceful and deserted.
