The cave system of Tapolca

The Tapolca cave system is one of the Most Beautiful Caves in Hungary and is extremely well-protected, which comes as no surprise. Tapolca Lake Cave, Hospital Cave, and Károly Berger Cave comprise the cave system. Surprisingly, it is the Tapolca Basin's longest cave system and the country's fourth longest cave.

In 1902, the cave was discovered. When the ground collapsed and a smaller hole formed, an intact well was drilled on the site of a simple baker. They deliberated for a long time about what to do, until one of the smaller workers, overcome by curiosity, summoned the courage to climb through the hole. After a while, several people followed him and discovered that they were in the hall of a massive cave with a ceiling height of 5-6 meters. What happened after that is history. You will need your arms rather than your legs to explore this cave. This is the only cave in Hungary and Central Europe that can be seen from a boat. The sailing trail is 300 meters long, and the cave temperature is 20 degrees Celsius.
