Baradla Domica cave system, Karst cave system in Aggtelek and Kečovo, Hungary and Slovakia

The cave network stretches over 25 kilometers through limestone formations, featuring multiple chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites in various shapes and sizes.

The first written record of Baradla cave appeared in 1549, while systematic exploration started with Joseph Sartory's survey in 1794, mapping initial sections.

Archaeological excavations within the caves revealed evidence of Neolithic settlements, including pottery manufacturing sites and tools made from bones and stones.

Guided tours through sections of the cave system operate daily, with walkways and lighting installed to ensure safe passage for visitors exploring underground.

The cave system contains the world's tallest known stalagmite measuring 37.2 meters and houses over 500 species of cave-dwelling animals, including 21 bat species.
