DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES THE IMRE VASS CAVE TOUR IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

About the Tour

Distance: 6.5 km (approx 4.5 miles)
Duration: 3 hours

The tour departs from the Baradla Cave Jósvafő Ticket Office. The walking tour between the ticket office and the cave entrance is about 6 km. Inside the cave, visitors will go about 500 m (total) into the cave and back. The entire tour takes about 3 hours, 45-50 minutes of which is spent inside the cave. Along the way, visitors will learn about the most extraordinary fauna in both the surface and underground worlds. By springs and streams the tour takes you through characteristic karst topography. While inside the Imre Vass Cave, stalagmites and an endless richness of colours mesmerise visitors. The most spectacular formation is the 8-meter high Orange Torrent, flanked by flag stalactites, straws, stalactite runoffs, and gravity defying curved stalactites makes for an unforgettably ethereal experience.
