Aggtelek Caves, Hungary





It’s been awhile but we are finally able to post again!! We have travelled across the country of Hungary with our first stop being in Miskoloc, a gateway for the Aggtelek National Park. In the park there are about 300 caves totaling 25.5 km. We had a guided tour in the Baradla Cave (as a guided tour was the only option). Unfortunately the mandatory tour was in Hungarian and Jeff and Anelia didn’t understand a lick.  That’s okay though, the caves were spectacular anyway.  The Baradla Cave is 2 million years old and were first used by primitive man as burial grounds and a dwelling place. The cave boasts fossils from the Triassic era and dipstone formations some as high as 30 feet. Enjoy the pics.
