It is believed the caves were inhabited during the Stone Age, as there have been found traces of human life that is 25,000 to 30,000 years old. In mid-July the silence break and there is held concerts on a large platform in the middle of the caves. An indescribable experience that many musicians are queuing up to get to experience as the sound is unique.
