Hungary - Family holiday - Culture - Original trips - 6 days
Budapest has over 200 natural caves, due to the high level of geothermic activity in the region. The caves were formed by thermal waters during millions of years. 4 caves are open to the public: the Pálvölgyi Dripstone Cave, the Szemlőhegy Cave, the Castle Cave and the Buda Castle Labyrinth. All four are hydrothermal caves, resulting in many unexpected passageways and beautiful natural formations. Self guided tour.
