We would like to invite
you to a visit of the Krásnohorská
Cave,
a unique karst formation, which is registered in The World
Heritage List (UNESCO). A tour through the cave is accessible for
visitors by a built up tourist route and it is not lit. You can enter
it only with a guide as a small group equipped with caving suites,
helmets and headlights.
The route leads to the Dripstone of
Rožňava Cavers – the giant column 34 m high. Currently, it is
listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest sinter column in
the world. Although several higher columns were already found, it is
a monumental nature creation rare in caves in temperate climate
zone. You will pass 450
m long route built up by using wooden footbridges
lying above an underground stream, which flows through the main cave
passage. Besides, you will climb several ladders and cross two rope
traverses hanging above lakes. It is not difficult and visitors enjoy
it very much.
The route is suitable almost for every
healthy person. Visitors from 6 to 76 years old have already passed it.
Children under 15 can enter the cave only accompanied with parents. As
the route is characteristic by a broken terrain it’s good to have
hiking shoes. If you do not have suitable shoes we can borrow you gum
boots for 20,- Slovak crowns (Sk). Visitors meet
the guide in the office (see the map below) by the guest-house
Jozefína in Krásnohorská Dlhá Lúka village. After registration and
getting necessary equipment a group walks about 1 km to the cave
entrance. The visit lasts approx. 2 and 1/2 hours. During high season
(15.6. – 15.9.), visiting times are at 9 a.m., 11,30 a.m. and 2 p.m.
During other months, it is necessary to book the visit by phone or via
e-mail. Due to high interest we recommend to book your visit during
summer, too. Entrance fees are presented in the Price List.
