Lóczy Cave, Limestone cave in Balatonfüred, Hungary.

The cave extends for 154 meters through thick limestone layers, with solution pits visible throughout its floor and walls, revealing thermal spring water formations.

Discovered in 1894 and opened to visitors in 1934, the cave received electric lighting installations in 1969 to enhance exploration capabilities.

The natural formation bears the name of Hungarian geologist Ferenc Lóczy, who dedicated his research to understanding Lake Balaton's geological structure.
