Sátorkőpuszta Cave, Thermal karst cave in Esztergom, Hungary.

The Sátorkőpuszta Cave extends 354 meters in length, reaches a depth of 49 meters, and features chambers covered with white gypsum and calcite crystal formations.

Limestone quarry workers discovered the cave in 1944, with official recognition following in 1946 when geologists conducted the first scientific survey and mapping.

The cave holds substantial geological value for Hungary, leading to its designation as a protected natural site in 1982 within the Duna-Ipoly National Park.

Visitors can explore the cave through monthly guided tours from March to November, requiring advance registration and proper caving equipment provided by the management.

The cave contains spherical chambers with mineral deposits from thermal water activity, including rare formations of aragonite clusters and gypsum flowers reaching 60 centimeters.
