Heaven and Hell

450 rock steps will guide you through the Chasm of Heaven (A). Smell the earth and the flowers in spring. Feel the coolness and freshness in the air and you will understand while they call it heaven.

At the end you'll find the chapel of Virgin Mary. This chapel is supposedly being built by Paulus.

C Pit of Hell
B Cave Gorge to Hell D Asthma Wishing Cave

Another 150 slippery steps guide you into the Gorge of Hell, the entrance to Hades Kingdom. At the end you can hear the river Aous flow and in wintertime you will be able to see it too! This has inspired people long ago to use this gorge as an oracle. You might come and see if an oracle will speak to you.

The Asthma Cave is a 20 m. deep cave. It has beautiful stalagmites and stalactites in all kind of colours. The temperature in the cave is always 14 degrees C. with a humidity of 85 to 98%. These circumstances seem to bring relief to sufferers of asthma. And to make your wish come true, just tie a rag on a bush outside, as is the belief of the locals here.
