Kőlyuk, Sandstone cave in Kishartyán, Hungary.
The cave extends 27.5 meters in length with three separate entrances, featuring interconnected chambers carved into the Eocene sandstone formation at 244 meters elevation.
During the Mongol and Ottoman invasions, the cave provided protection for local villagers who used its chambers as a temporary shelter from danger.
Local records tell of a wealthy baron from Karancsság who chose this cave as a hiding place with his mistress to avoid a duel.
Visitors can reach the cave through a marked path from the parking area to a resting spot located directly beneath the entrance.
The cave displays both natural and human-modified features, with square chambers inside and original cavities visible near the entrances and windows.
