The cave is accessible via an iron ore research station. The tour route takes you back and forth approximately 400 m an lasts about 45 minutes. Perhaps the region’s most spectacular cave in the Aggtelek karst, the Rákóczi Cave features a stunningly diverse and colourful number of formations. Remarkable pea-stones and dripstone runoff completely cover the walls. Snow white straw formations and calcite carnations offset the the reds, browns and yellows of the cave. The subterranean crystal clear lakes top off a memorable experience.

Important Informations

The average temperature in the cave is +10°C/50°F, therefore appropriately warm clothing and footwear is recommended!
In order to protect the cave, the maximum number of participants is 10 people! If the number is exceeded, those interested can see the cave in several groups, scattered over multiple starting times.
Due to the limited capacity of the cave, it is advisable to inquire ahead of time about available tour times at the Jósvafő ticket offices!
