Kossuth Cave

The cave system extends through limestone formations, featuring water channels that feed into the Nagy Tohonya spring with an average water temperature of 14°C.

Scientists accessed the cave entrance in 1956 by breaking through the spring's debris zone using controlled explosions to establish the first documented exploration.

The cave bears the name of Lajos Kossuth, reflecting the Hungarian tradition of commemorating national historical figures through natural landmarks.

Groups of five to ten visitors must register in advance and wear waterproof clothing and rubber boots due to the cave's active water system.

The cave network includes submerged passages that researchers reached through specialized diving expeditions, discovering a terminal siphon in 2010.
