Mexikó-völgy Sinkhole, Protected limestone cave in Bükk National Park, Hungary.

The Mexikó-völgyi-víznyelőbarlang extends 414 meters in length with multiple passages connecting through narrow sections and three main shafts.

Research of the cave started in 1953 when the Hungarian Hydrological Society evaluated the site where the Mexikó stream disappears underground.

Scientists discovered fossils of cave bears, hyenas, giant deer, and cave lions in the surrounding rock formations of the valley.

The cave entrance lies near the valley bottom, just above the Mexikó stream bed, requiring official permission from Bükki National Park for exploration.

The Kristálymúzeum chamber spans 18 meters in length and contains various colored dripstone formations throughout its passages.
