Some caves have turned into hangars, others into stunning restaurants. In addition to the network of arches and freshwater basins surrounded by beautiful green plants that wind around the limestone stalks hanging in the air, the eastern part of the park has become a sports club where in the sunny days hundreds of people gather to listen to music and practice free dance.
