Katafigi vandalism - Graffiti

An uncountable number of painted arrows point to the exit of katafigi. At many places there are more than one - in different colors. In addition to that "redundancy" many arrows are painted on totaly useless places - particular that sprayed with lumenescent paint. If one can already see the daylight (left photo) or if there is no junction on the trail throug the cave (right photo) there is no need for arrows every few metres. If there is no brain in the head of would-be-speleogists they should stay out. It is a great pity how many stalactites are more or less irreversibly smeared.
There is no need for a new arrow. We never found any arrow which is not pointing to the entrance / exit. Most of them indicate the shortest route.
