Tapolca Lake Cave, Underground cave system in Tapolca, Hungary.
The Lake Cave stretches for 3 kilometers beneath the town, featuring water-filled passages and natural limestone formations at depths of 20 meters.
Local workers discovered the cave system in 1903 during a well-digging project, and it opened to visitors in 1912 with boat tours starting in 1937.
The cave's name connects to the town's etymology, as Tapolca derives from Slavic words meaning hot springs, reflecting the regional thermal activity.
Visitors can explore the cave system through guided boat tours lasting 90 minutes, with audio guides available in multiple languages at the entrance.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 20 degrees Celsius with maximum humidity, creating natural conditions for treating respiratory conditions.
