Description
Reeking Cave is a small unmarked cave inhabited by a Frost Troll. To find it from the outside, fast travel to the Thalmor Embassy. The Dragonborn will arrive in front of the gates facing north. Turn west and head to the rocks nearby. Carefully descend those rocks, then continue downhill to a road. Follow the road north until you see the path veer left and you should see it on the right.(there will be rocks on the right), the entrance is nearby.
Look for a narrowing with a rock on the left and a large tree on the right. There will be another tree on the right about ten feet further downhill. Between the rock and tree is a dark arch, which is the cave entrance.
