Is the Engelbrecht Cave suitable for people with difficulty walking over uneven ground?
Hi Donna,
Englebrecht Cave has around 150 stairs which you must descend before you get to the cave floor. However, the floor of the cave is mostly flat and is well lit, so it is an easy walk. There are also railings in some parts of the cave.
If the person is able to descend the stairs (with railing) and get back up them again, then they should have no issue walking around inside the cave. The stairs will be the most difficult part, however there is no rush and you can go at your own pace.
If you think the stairs at Englebrecht will be too much, try the Tantanoola Caves which are wheelchair accessible. It may be a bit easier for someone with mobility issues.
Regards,
Jess
