Peștera Muierilor, Show cave in Baia de Fier, Romania
Peștera Muierilor extends over 7 kilometers with four galleries across two levels, located at 700 meters altitude in the Galbenu Valley of Parang Mountains.
Archaeological excavations between 1951 and 1953 revealed human skull fragments dating back 30,000 years, along with remains of cave bears and cave panthers.
During periods of conflict, this cave provided a secret sanctuary where women and children gathered while men participated in military campaigns.
The cave welcomes visitors year-round, with summer hours from 9 AM to 7 PM and winter hours from 9 AM to 5 PM, requiring groups of 4 to 100 people.
This location holds distinction as Romania's first electrically illuminated cave system, featuring a 550-meter upper gallery with an electrified pathway for visitors.
