Farcu Cave, Crystal cave system in Bihor County, Romania.
The natural cave formation extends through 251 meters of passages, featuring calcite crystal formations in chambers connected by mining galleries.
The cave network was discovered in 1987 during bauxite mining operations, leading to its protection and subsequent development for tourism in 2012.
The cave system integrates mining heritage displays with natural formations, presenting tools and equipment that tell the story of local mineral extraction.
Guided tours lasting 25 minutes take groups of 15 people through 300 meters of combined mine and cave passages at temperatures between 9-12°C.
The cave contains geode-type chambers with calcite crystal formations that developed under specific conditions created by mining activities.
