Baradla Cave

Baradla Cave has tours that depart year-round. The temperature at this level is usually about 10 degrees celcius with humidity over 95%, so be sure to bring a sweater along. Tours usually include a short organ recital or some other form of music in the Concert or Giants' Halls and, if the water is high enough, a boat ride on the Styx, an underground stream.

Short tours lasting about one hour start at the Aggtelek entrance. A one-hour tour that covers a different section is available from the Jósvafő entrance near the Tengerszem.

A two-hour 'middle tour' of the Jósvafő section departs from the Vörös-tó entrance; it ends at the one in Jósvafő. You can also buy reduced-price tickets that combine the Aggtelek short and the Jósvafő middle tours over two consecutive days.

If that doesn't fulfil your spelunking urges, try one of these; the three-hour Keresztély Raisz tour, which includes an unpaved section without illumination (torches are provided); the Long tour, which takes five hours and combines sections of the Aggtelek, middle and Keresztély Raisz tours; and the Special tour, which consists of the Long tour plus a side trip to the Hall of Wonders. From October to March advanced bookings are required; a minimum of 10 people are needed for tours to go ahead.
