About 3 hours long trip from Budapest, in the north-west part of the Lake Balaton there is the
tenth longest cave in Hungary. It has 5200 m long branches, but only a small part of it is opened for the public. The depth of the cave is 121 m. The temperature in the cave is 9,5 C in every season.
There is no lighting int he cave. There is no larger watering surface in the branches, but you can find mud and waterdropping.
As not only the cave but also the surface area are strictly protected, we approach the cave entrance on foot (an approx 40-minute-long walk uphill) in a beautiful forest area.
