Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Meet natural formations and local products at Toma Limestone Cave and the town’s roadside station. The cave closes for winter, so check whether it opens on your planned date first.

This guide covers places within Toma, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
