Körös Cave, Cave in Szilvásvárad, Hungary.

The cave extends 42 meters in length and features mineral formations within the limestone walls of the Bükk mountain range.

Scientists have discovered Middle and Upper Pleistocene fauna remains in the cave, along with sediment layers from an eroded Miocene covering.

Hungarian historian Fényes Elek documented the cave in his 1851 publications, marking its early recognition in academic literature.

The cave remains at a steady temperature throughout the year and requires only basic lighting equipment for exploration of its passages.

Located at 932 meters above sea level, this formation holds the distinction of being the highest positioned cave in Hungary.
