"Before you go in a cave do not go alone and don't go without any guide. It is very very important. It is dangerous. In this cave because it is a very long cave you don't need a map, it is better to go with someone who knows the cave because it is easy to find. You know many people are coming here. But if you go in a cave that you don't know and not so many people know a map is good to bring and there are some smaller caves which have good maps and are very easy to read because in a good map it is very very clear to see what is the steep part, where are the shafts, where is the holes, where is a tight part, a narrow part, a low part, and where are the stones because if there is a bigger stone the position of the stone is also drawn in the right way on the map."
