You have to climb a rather steep pathway to reach the cave from the parking lot, but it's doable for general people. Overweight/obese people will definitely struggle, but it can be done. September 2021: Access inside the cave is subject to mask covering mouth/nose.

Nice acoustics inside the cave. In the past I've experienced the concert inside the cave and it was amazing. In September 2021 concerts inside are still suspended due to CoVID19 pandemic.

Almost 30min inside with the guided tour, basic explanations in Romanian. Interior was nicely made accessible with stairs/handrails wherever possible. Inside temperature is 8-10 Celsius so be prepared with warm clothes.

The tour is also available only in Romanian. The price of the tour is not shown at the base of the hill, so you don't really know what to expect. We do not recommend this particular cave, not because it is not beautiful, but it's not worth it and the people who manage it are making a very...
