Tour Details
Budapest's hot springs have left a huge underground caving system which can be explored through climbing and crawling on this tour! Many people visit Hungary's famous thermal baths but only a few know that the hot water is rushing up from deep underground where creating caves. In the limestone mountains under Budapest, the heated water formed a huge cave system which is thought to be more than 100 km long. The spas and the caves of Budapest are planned to be declared part of the UNESCO World Heritage. The longest cave of Budapest is the 20.1 km long. It is called Pal Volgyi Matyas Hegyi Cave and its located in the Dunalpoly National Park. It is a real multi-level labyrinth system with most of its chambers under the residential districts of Budapest. If you aren't claustrophobic you can apply for our regularly scheduled cave tours which are guided by qualified caving guides. During the 3.5 hours long tour you will often have to climb on the walls and crawl through narrow passages so you have to be prepared for adventure. Tour leads through natural parts of the cave with the supervision of professional caving guides. All the necessary equipment - overall, helmet, lamp will be provided.
