national park. Aggtelek National Park is also home to one of Europe's largest stalactite caves.

most wonderful geographic phenomena.
The caves of the Aggtelek Karst and the Slovak Karst were inscribed on the UNESCO World

Underground tours
We also have several underground tours on offer but please note that most of them, due to the
uneven surfaces, will not be suitable for everyone. These vary in lengths from a 1 hour tour
through the Baradla Cave (suitable for almost everyone) to a 7 hour tour which enables you to
visit an underground lake, The Hall of Wonders and a 4 km section with no illumination.
Warm clothes are needed for all of the underground cave tours as the temperature is a
