Cool, historic place with a short info sign. But follow the path, we walked in the middle of the forest and got bitten by all the mosquitoes.
About the cave that in 1630 it was the meeting place of the parish priest Herr Oluff Abrahami and his mistress Kierstin. The cave was prepared with sheepskins, beer and food. But the villagers discovered them and they were exposed. The vicar allegedly denied the crime but Kierstin confessed and they were both sentenced to death according to 17th century law. But luckily, the sentence was reconsidered and they were sentenced to daily fines instead, but the vicar was removed from his post and then lived mainly as a farmer.
A small cave formed by some large boulders. The first part there is a path to follow, but when there is about 70 meters left you have to make your way through rather difficult terrain the last part.
