Duration and distance are estimates. Distance is the straight-line sum between stops; the actual road is longer. Check with a maps app before you set off.

Safety and caution

Those with a fear of heights should be careful on the glass terrace. The cave floor is damp and slippery; do not leave the railed path. In winter the lake freezes; do not walk on the ice. The Zigana road can be slippery with snow and ice.
