Meteor Cave, Natural cave in Bódvaszilas, Hungary.

The cave system extends 1672 meters in length and reaches a depth of 127 meters through passages formed in Triassic limestone formations.

Researchers from Vörös Meteor SE discovered the cave in 1961 following an investigation of ground disruption at the Kisvizes-töbör sinkhole location.

The cave system belongs to the Aggtelek and Slovak karst region, which received UNESCO World Heritage status recognition in 1995.

Visitors need to register two weeks ahead, bring climbing equipment, and prepare for a 5-6 hour expedition that includes crawling and ladder climbing.

The Titans Chamber, measuring 90 meters in length and 30 meters in width, contains massive stalactites and stalagmites throughout its expansive interior.
