Stalactite caves<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Hungary has several stalactite caves in different locations. The most famous place for this is Aggtelek National Park. It is about a 1 hour and 15 minute drive from our campsite in Gelej. \n
\n
You can also visit the Szent Istv\u00e1n Cave. These are also stalactite caves, but smaller than those at Aggtelek National Park. The Szent Istv\u00e1n stalactite caves are about a 1-hour drive from our campsite in Gelej. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The above-ground terrain is also breathtaking and serves as a habitat for a variety of animal species. Some of the more promising sightings include the grey wolf, the Eurasian lynx, the red deer, and the wild boar. There are also many birds to admire, such as the Eastern imperial eagle, saker falcon, kingfisher, and many others.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

This cavity is a temporary source cave, formed by the karst water flowing down from the surface through the water wells from the area of L\u00e9tr\u00e1s-l\u00e1pa and Istv\u00e1n-l\u00e1pa, located on the eastern edge of the Great Plateau of the Old B\u00fckk Mountains.
