Sárkányfürdő Cave

Sárkányfürdő Cave is an underground system with multiple chambers where mineral-rich waters flow through limestone formations. These structures developed over many thousands of years through natural geological processes.

The cave system became part of the Aggtelek Karst UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. This recognition acknowledged the site's geological and natural importance on an international scale.

The name Sárkányfürdő comes from local legends about mystical creatures said to inhabit the warm waters of the cave. Such stories continue to shape how visitors perceive and experience this place.

Visitors can explore the cave through guided tours that explain the geological features and how the underground formations developed. Sturdy footwear is recommended and you should be prepared for cool temperatures below ground.

The cave maintains steady warm temperatures thanks to geothermal activity and holds waters with healing mineral properties. These naturally warm underground springs are uncommon and make this location truly special.
