Csákvári Cave, Natural cave formation in Csákvár, Hungary.

The cave extends 87.5 meters in length with a vertical span of 10.5 meters, featuring multiple fissures within the dolomite rock formation.

Archaeological excavations in 1925 by the Hungarian Tourist Association revealed numerous Pleistocene animal remains, including three-toed horses and saber-toothed tigers.

The cave walls contain Latin inscriptions indicating its past use as a Roman sanctuary dedicated to Diana, the goddess of hunting.

Located at 190 meters above sea level on Nagy-hegy mountain, the cave is accessible via a marked green trail starting from Csákvár.

Scientists have documented remains of more than 180 different animal species within the cave, making it a significant paleontological site.
