The Szemlő-hegyi Cave is Budapest's underground flower garden.
The most beautiful and most typical parts of the cave can be observed
during the guided tours on the 300 metre long tourist path. You can
see walls covered with thick layers of mineral deposits that are
unique in Europe: splendent, white crystals of gypsum, popcorn
formations and calcite rafts. The comfortable and safe pavements and
the modern electric lighting make the tour even more enjoyable.
Thanks to the clean, dust and allergen-free air of the cave
respiratory diseases have been successfully cured here. Due to its
healing effects the cave was designated as a medicinal cave is 1991.
The tourist path can be visited by wheelchair, with the help of an
assistant.
There is an exhibition of the caves in Buda in the
entrance hall.
