Baradla Cave, Aggtelek

The Aggtelek cave complex is an amazing network of ancient caves in Hungary and Slovakia. The nature park offers different guided tours according to a variety of difficulty levels and durations. There are two entrances (with ticket offices) for the different tours, located a few minutes car ride from each other. The visits show the impressive caves, with beautiful stalagmites and others shapes. It’s cold down there, so dress accordingly. The tours at the time that when we went, were only offered in Hungarian, which is not unusual in Hungary. There are brochures with some minimal information in other languages, including English. However, the guide did not even bother to clearly name the different formations for non-native speakers, so you were regularly made to wait somewhere for a long Hungarian explanation without any idea where you were, without being able to follow in the brochure.

Visited on an Educational Trip. Cave tour was an amazing experience. Especially the cinema experience in the caves. There is a giant stalactite that holds the record for highest stalactite in the world. There's plenty of good food and entertainment around the cave entrance. With a subsided ticket anyone can visit the amazing Aggtelekk caves in Northern Hungary.

Brilliant place for a family visit, but not advisable for small children. The price is fair. We took the short 60 minute tour, but for sure we will be back next year ( or before) for the 100 minute tour, which is 4km drive from the 60 minute tour cave. There is a guide who escorts you through the cave, stopping at certain places to explain the history. It was interesting and quite amazing. We took extra warm clothes in a back pack, just incase we got cold half way through. But there was no need, I was in shorts and a t shirt. Other people in light jackets. Once the tour is over, you have a pleasant walk back over the hills to the beginning. Out side the cave in the surrounding areas (walking) there is souvenir shops and 3 restaurants, well places to eat. Not high class restaurants, I would rather say , quick food points, but you order and can sit in pleasant surroundings and enjoy your food. The food price was also good value and not your typical tourist resort extortionate price. There is a small play ground, all in all it's a full day program. After the cave you can walk around the Forrest.

Large cave, lots of rooms. But if you have seen other caves like the Ice Cave in Poland, it's honestly not so interesting. Worth seeing but not worth a detour (imho).

Tours only in Hungarian language, which is, for UNESCO, a shame. Whole place needs a lot of money to be renewed. Restaurant smells bad and reminds more expensive fastfood, but taste good. What I enjoyed the most was beautiful nature
