Pál-völgyi Cave System, Cave system in Budapest, Hungary
The limestone cave system extends over 32 kilometers beneath the Buda Hills, containing narrow passageways, chambers, and mineral formations throughout its network.
The cave was discovered in 1904 during quarrying operations near Szépvölgyi Road, with initial explorations revealing several hundred meters of underground passages.
The Pannonia Tourist Association's cave research group made sections of the cave accessible to visitors in 1919, establishing it as a significant geological research site.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 11 degrees Celsius year-round, requiring visitors to wear appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear during guided tours.
The underground network features more than 400 steps and includes a 7-meter-high secured ladder system for visitor access to different cave levels.
