This is a wonderful place to visit and a chance to feel yourself not as a tourist, but as a speleologist. You don't stroll through halls to see all the beauty as in a museum, but you have to earn to see the beauty. And you earn this by climbing a mountain first and then climbing and crawling, sometimes on your belly or your back. Yet the beauty you see is really worth it. We saw sleeping bats, stalactites, stalagmites, etc.We had a wonderful guide Agnes. She speaks perfect English, and you can see she really enjoys every minute of the tour and does her best for you to enjoy it too.My tip for future visitors would be not to dress to warm even during the autumn - spring periods. The climbing you have to do makes you warm :)

As we had some bad weather during our stay we visited a lot of caves around Lake Balaton. This one is a real treat! Small groups are taken underground by a guide (sometimes they do not speak English/German) and lead through a series of natural caves. The way is over narrow ladders, rocks, through tunnels and steep walls. You have to be fairly fit in order to do the climbing and crawling and prepared to get dirty as you need to slide over the cave floors or climb up muddy rocks. It is something for the adventurous but the guide is very helpful and knows his way around perfectly. We took our 9-year old son along and although he was a bit scared, the guide helped him step-by-step over the ledges and climbs. The otherworldly beauty of the underground world makes it well worth and the thrill of the adventure just as well!

When a local recommended this cave to me, I had visions of an American type attraction where you walk into a huge cavern and are kept on a walking path. I was wrong. This is a small cave that you climb through often on your back or belly. It can be strenuous and is not for the claustrophobic, but I enjoyed it immensely. The tight quarters and lack of commercialism made me feel like an explorer, not a tourist.Do make reservations and wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting muddy.
