Bolii Cave
Peștera Bolii
A through-cave near Petroșani, with a stream flowing along its floor. Concerts are sometimes held inside.
Bolii Cave is a through-cave in limestone about 450 m long, carved by the Bolii stream (a tributary of the Eastern Jiu River). Its entrance is large, and the cave has paths and lighting, so you can walk from one end to the other. The cave has been inhabited since ancient times, and legend says the Dacians hid treasure here. In recent years, cave concerts have been held here. It lies along the road about 6 km northeast of Petroșani, about 1 hour from Hunedoara, and can be combined with trips to Sarmizegetusa or eastern Retezat. The cave is cool and damp, so bring a jacket.
