The Pál-völgyi Cave in Budapest was discovered in 1904 and it is accessible for the public since 1919. The Cave is famous for its unique dripstones, but the narrow, canyon-like corridors, the cauldron-like dissolve formations and the large level differences are also very typical. The 500-metre long route has lately been modernized and adjusted for the highest requirements. It takes the visitor to the most astonishing stone formations, drip stones, glittering calcium-crystals and prints of primeval shells. At some parts the perfect acoustics of the halls can also be experienced by listening to music. Even with the 120 steps and the ladder that have to be mounted, the whole tour can easily be fulfilled in normal clothes and comfortable shoes. A souvenir shop and a buffet is a nice place for relaxation before and after the tour.
