Cobra Cave lies directly below the prehistoric temples of Mnajdra. It is named after the route equippers and the cobra-shaped rope burns three of them sustained in a short period of time in 2013. Most route names are inspired by the overlying temples.
Good topo here.
From the airport follow signs to Zurrieq, then follow signs to Hagar Qim. Park as for the temples. Take the footpath left of the entrance to Hagar Qim temple in the direction of the lower temple, Mnajdra. At the entrance to Mnajdra follow the footpath around the fence in a clockwise direction and make your way to the cliff edge. The abseil chain is beneath a flat clearing, on a sloping ledge featuring two large perched blocks. A low, dry stone wall is a few meters away from the abseil point. The abseil is around 22m.
To approach on foot, follow the cliff edge right looking towards the sea till you come to a quarry. Scramble down the scree slope and head back East to the cave. Exit either by climbing or by scrambling up the scree slope. All routes can be climbed using a 50m rope.
