Tăuz-vízkelet, Nature reserve with deep siphon cave system in Apuseni Mountains, Romania
The Tăuz-vízkelet cave system contains approximately 25,000 liters of water and extends through numerous underground passages within limestone formations.
Initial exploration began in 1982 when a team of cave divers including Halasi Gábor, Liviu Vălenaş, and Czakó László first entered the cave system.
The site holds geological importance within the Apuseni Natural Park, attracting speleologists and researchers from across Europe to study its formations.
Access to Tăuz-vízkelet starts at the Filea mill, following a marked path along a stream that leads to the steep rock face entrance.
At 87 meters deep, this cave system represents Romania's deepest known siphon, with only 375 meters of its total length currently mapped.
