Peștera Vântului, Cave system in Pădurea Craiului Mountains, Romania
The network of passages in Peștera Vântului extends for 52 kilometers, making it the most extensive cave system throughout Romania.
Researchers first documented this underground formation in 1954, leading to decades of geological studies and continuous exploration of its numerous chambers.
Romanian folklore and scientific research intertwine within these passages, where local communities maintain deep connections to this natural monument.
The temperature inside remains constant at 11.8 degrees Celsius throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring appropriate clothing and specialized equipment.
Strong seasonal winds flow through the cave passages in both directions, creating a natural ventilation system that inspired its name.
