The cave is worth a visit. The is a large car park at the bottom of the hill and they charge 2 euros to park there which is OK but take only cash. From there it is about 1 km quite steep up hill path so take that into consideration if you have small kids or tickets in advance for specific time of the tour. Just before you reach the cave entrance there are some toilets with all you need except for running water so nowhere to wash your hands. The cave is really beautiful inside but if you have a large group then in some places not all people fit and the guide has to wait for people to pass to next section and repeat herself/himself. So I would recommend them to limit the groups to max of 20 people. The entrance fee 9 euros (at the time of writing) is OK and they take only cash but the charge of 7 euros for taking pictures inside the cave is quite excessive...

Nehodnotím samotnú jaskyňu, do tej sme sa totiž nedostali. Hodnotím prístup správcov. K Drinám sme si spravili s mamkou výlet aj keď sme vedeli že nestihneme čas prehliadky - meškali sme asi 10 min, čo už bolo pomerne dosť. No spravili by sme si aspoň prechádzku prírodou ak nič iné a ak nám pri vstupe možno predsa len dovolia ešte dobehnúť skupinu, ktorá mohla so štartom tiež teoreticky meškať, bolo by to bezva. Po príchode pred jaskyňu nás "privítala" len zavretá kancelária. Dvere sme skúšali, zamknuté. Hneď za sklenenými dverami bolo však niekoľko ľudí - správcov jaskyne, ktorí evidentne vynakladali značnú energiu aby nás čo najviac ignorovali. Stáli sme tam tak za dverami, chceli sme sa aspoň spýtať, či by sme ešte nemohli vojsť, alebo aspoň si pozrieť prospekty/suveníry. Podobne s nami tam postávalo niekoľko ďalších turistov. Nič. Zamestnanci v kancelárii chvílu zahľadení do papierov v rukách, chvíľu presúvajúc kôpku predmetov z jednej strany na druhú, pozerali všetkými inými smermi len na nás, čo sme stáli necelé 2 metre od nich za sklenenou stenou. Keď asi po minúte správci zistili že sa hneď nepoberáme kade ľahšie, miesto toho aby nás apoň informovali, že je nám ľúto do jaskyne sa už nedá vstúpiť, alebo sa nás len ľudsky spýtať či niečo nepotrebujeme (napr za 30 eur príplatok je možnosť aj individuálnej návštevy mimo pravidelné prehliadky), jednoducho nám pred nosom ZATIAHLI ŽALÚZIE (!). Viac že máme vás v p* už sa snáď ani nedá naznačiť. Už len čerešnička na torte bola, keď sme sa presunuli na neďaleké lavičky, aby sme nabrali sily na cestu späť k autu, po tom ako správci po chvíli zistili že vzduch je čistý, žalúzie si opäť vytiahli hore, asi nech tam nemusia sedieť po tme... V skratke, služby a turizmus na niektorých miestach u nás sú ešte stále na povestný "slovenský" spôsob. Jaskyňa Driny medzi tieto...

Worst tourist experience ever! They don't take cards, and the lady at the parking is incredibly rude. My first stop in Slovakia. We were supposed to explore the area around Bratislava. We are instead going directly to Hungary, and obtaining from spending any money in this country. A bit harsh? Well, if tourist spots don't have any possibility to let people pay by card, they don't really want international tourists. It was only 2€ for the parking, I would rather have paid 10€ and actually been able...

Cave is roughly 1km walk through forest up a small hill to get to the cave from the parking lot. Parking is 2 euros for a car. Admission is every hour starting at 10 until 16. Toilets are available close to entrance to the cave. There is a restaurant close to the parking lot. Cave itself is very nice although it only takes about 40 min for whole tour. Some postcards and small refreshments are available to buy in ticket booth. I reccoment to visit also Smolenice castle if you are visiting the cave.

Výborný tip na výlet pre všetkých, ktorý ešte podobnú scenériu nemali možnosť doposiaľ vidieť. Autom ( alebo pešo z autobusovej zastávky Smolenice rázscetie) sa dostanete na parkovisko a odtiaľ riadne vyznačenou trasou k jaskyni Driny. Jedinou nevýhodou alebo takou výzvou je samotný výstup k jaskyni je to pre menej fyzicky zdatných dosť náročné ! Našťastie sa tu po celej trase vyskytuje veľa lavičiek, kde si môžete odpočinúť. Priznám sa, že som osobne bol dosť udýchaný a spotený. Ako som však pozeral okolo seba, tak to boli všetci dospelý okrem detí :-) Lístky pre vstup do jaskyne kúpite priamo na mieste v stupu. Ak chcete svoju prehliadku aj zväčnit na foto, či video treba uhradiť poplatok 7€ a za samotný vstup 6€. K vstupu dostanete samozrejme vstupenku a pre možnosť fotografovania a videa samolepku, ktorú si nalepte na viditeľné miesto ako hruď, či obal mobilu atp. Keďže v jaskyni je teplota 7-8°C doporučujem si zobrať prechodný kabát alebo min. sveter, mikinu atp. Návšteva jaskyne bol pre mňa krásný a čarovný zážitok. Vidieť to na vlastné oči je neuveriteľné! Jaskyňa je dlhá 410m a prehliadka trvá cca 30min. Mne to však pripadalo ako 5min. Ak sa už nachádzate v Smoleniciach nezabudnite navštíviť Smolenický zámok ako sa hovorí zabijete dve muchy jednou ranou:-) Takže, choďte a užite si jaskyňu naplno, neoľutujete !!!
