Dâmbovicioara cave, Limestone cave in Piatra Craiului Mountains, Romania.

The cave extends 555 meters through limestone formations, with a main gallery ranging from 3 to 4 meters wide and 4 to 5 meters tall.

Archaeological findings indicate the cave provided shelter for Paleolithic hunters and contained remains of extinct cave bears from the last glacial period.

Local guides share geological information and regional stories while leading visitors through 250 meters of illuminated pathways inside the natural formation.

The cave maintains a temperature between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring appropriate clothing for the cool environment.

The natural ventilation occurs through a 10-meter-high chimney that connects the interior chambers to the surface, creating minimal air circulation.
