Lalomita Cave

At 1,530 meters above sea level, the Lalomita cave is located on the right slope of the Lalomița gorges. It stretches along 480 meters, with 400 meters exposed to the public, up to the Altar Hall. It gets its name from stalactites organized in an altar configuration. The cave is open all year, however it is recommended that you dress warmly. Lalomita is one of the most beautiful caves in Romania.

The cave is divided into various rooms that are connected by tunnels. The first is 115 meters long, 15 meters broad, and 10 to 25 meters tall. A river flowed along it until 1924, with the current changing its path and running over the ground. A gallery with a length of 20 meters and a width of 1 to 8 meters is located behind the hall. There are a few more rooms after that. One of them is home to a cave bear's skeleton.

The Ialomița Monastery, built in the 16th century on the initiative of the Wallachian voivode Mihne I the Bad, stands at the entrance. The structure has been devastated by fires multiple times over the years, yet each time it has been restored.
