Ponicova Cave
Peștera Ponicova
A cave running through a mountain on the Romanian bank of the Great Cazane Gorge, about 1.6 km long. You can take a small boat to the entrance and then explore inside with a guide.
Ponicova Cave runs through Ciucaru Mare. One end opens onto the Danube bank, and the cave is about 1,666 meters long. Inside you will find stalactites, stalagmites and bat colonies. The most common way to visit is to take a small boat from Dubova to the entrance and then follow a licensed guide with headlamps on foot. Some sections require climbing, so it suits visitors with a reasonable level of fitness. There is no lighting inside, so wear non-slip shoes and a warm jacket. It is usually combined with the Decebalus statue cruise and costs extra.
