An old cave system that was built around the19.Century to get special stones to build furnace. During the Second World War the cave were used for the production of aircraft parts. After the war the American military would like to blow up the very big cave system. But they were so stably that only a part of the system was destroyed. Right now most of the cave entrances are closed. Here are also two recommendable Multicaches in this area: GCNY3N and GCNXXT.

I collect some Coordinates from some entrance:
Entrance 14 = N50 40.645 E7 13.315
Entrance 31 = N50 40.665 E7 13.122
Entrance 33 = N50 40.634 E7 13.145
Entrance 36+37 = N50 40.650 E7 13.200
Entrance 40(42) = N50 40.560 E7 13.180
Entrance 58 = N50 40.645 E7 13.265

If somebody knows more let me know it, I will put it on the side.
