Lóczy Cave
Lóczy-barlang
A small limestone cave in the hills north of Balatonfüred, with clearly visible rock layers, offering a cool retreat in summer.
Located on Tamás Hill north of Balatonfüred, the cave is named after geologist Lóczy, who studied the geology of Lake Balaton. It's one of the earlier caves in Hungary to open to the public. The cave runs about 120 meters. It has few stalactites, but you can clearly see the tilted layers of Triassic limestone, hundreds of millions of years old, along with dissolution features, which makes it good for families interested in geology. The temperature inside stays around 12°C. A visit takes about 30 minutes. The cave is usually open only in summer, and admission is about 1,500 forints.
