Peștera Meziad — Attraction in Remetea

The best public cave I have visited in Romania so far and I can say I visited quite some. You can get by car, there is a parking place 200m away from the entrance where you can leave your car or 1km away at some cottages. Make sure you check the schedule as there are 1hour circuit trips so if you get there while the guide is in a visit you'll have to wait.

There is a cellular signal amplifier, so you get phone service up until the entrance. There is also a tiny stream if you need to refill your water bottle, and a small shop selling bracelets, fridge magnets and...

OMG!! This is a must see!! Not only the road there was beautiful but the cave itself was amazing. And there were so many tourists here. The entrance tote cave was extremely wide, very impressive. It reminded me of the Deer Cave in Borneo. There were some stairs, but with a slow pace and a few rests even an elder or overweight person can visit, if they don’t have knee problems. I convinced my mom to go with me and although she said many times that she wants to quit, I convinced her to continue. At the end, she was happy she went through with it and she loved the cave. I could take many...
