Bagyura Cave, Karst cave in Budapest, Hungary

The cave system extends for 12,000 meters through limestone formations, maintaining a constant temperature of 10 degrees Celsius at 205 meters above sea level.

The cave emerged in July 1904 when John Bagyura, the quarry owner's son, discovered it while attempting to rescue a sheep from a collapsed quarry floor.

The cave received electrical installations for the First International Speleological Congress in 1927, marking Hungary's position in geological research and exploration.

Visitors can access the cave from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 AM and 4 PM, with guided tours covering 450 meters over approximately 50 minutes.

The cave serves as a winter refuge for 660 bats and contains various species of algae from periods when thermal waters filled its chambers.
