Pisznice Cave, Protected limestone cave in Lábatlan, Hungary

The cave system extends horizontally across 560 meters through upper Triassic limestone, featuring spacious upper passages and narrow lower tunnels connected by small channels.

First documented in 1848 by Elek Fényes, the cave became known for extensive bat guano extraction during the second half of the nineteenth century.

The surrounding Gerecse mountain region contains valuable red limestone deposits that were used in the construction of the medieval Visegrád Palace.

Entry requires permits from Duna-Ipoly National Park Directorate, with access prohibited between October 1 and April 30 during bat hibernation season.

The cave walls reveal four distinct geological layers, ranging from young Holocene to lower-middle Pleistocene, containing preserved prehistoric animal remains.
