Extensive Cave System and Extraordinary View

This time I am going to take you to deep undergrounds and show you Hungary’s longest cave system, Baradla Domica Cave. This amazing cavern is 25.5 km long and consists of hundreds of caves. The expensive cave system runs across Hungary and Slovakia, therefore it is impossible to trek the whole system at once. However, there are multiple entrances and it’s possible to visit them in smaller sections. This attraction is one of a kind which was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The interior of the cave system can be described in one word ‘magnificent’.  A dripstone grows one millimeter in one year of period. Can you imagine how long it takes a dripstone to become an enormous column like that on the picture? It takes millions of years.

Another interesting fact is that the cave have a huge hall which often gives home to wedding ceremonies and concerts due to excellent acoustics.

P.S. I recommend to take with you a jacket when visiting this site, especially if you go during summer because the average temperature is 9.5 celsius degree. Tours are range from 1.5 hours to 3 hours and I can tell from experience it is cold.
