Vaskapu, Limestone cave in Pilisszentkereszt, Hungary.
The Vaskapu cave features a natural stone arch that rises 15 meters high within the Pilis Mountains at 570 meters above sea level.
Near the cave stand remnants of a Cistercian Abbey, established by King Béla III in 1184, with several preserved columns marking its former location.
A memorial plaque near the cave entrance commemorates the establishment of the Hungarian Tourist Association on September 24, 1888.
The cave access requires following unmarked paths from Pilisszentkereszt's cemetery bus stop, along the green stripe trail beside Dera stream.
The surrounding rock formations constitute one of Hungary's primary climbing locations, with numerous routes ascending the limestone walls.
