Decent little cave. Most everything looks pretty similar but it was fun to check out. Tour was only in Hungarian but there was an app that explained everything in English.

Érdekes, könnyed séta a föld alatt 😃 Jó vezetéssel. Nyáron melegben kifejezetten jól esik egy kis hűs időtöltés. Egy pulóver nem árt ha van kéznél.
