Limanu Cave
Peștera Limanu
A labyrinthine limestone cave on the shore of Lake Mangalia, with interconnecting passages, traces of ancient human activity and a bat colony.
Limanu Cave lies in the village of Limanu on the west shore of Lake Mangalia. Its passages total about 3 km and branch and cross like a maze. They are thought to be the product of both ancient quarrying and human habitation, and ancient carvings can be seen on the cave walls. A protected bat colony lives inside. The cave has not been commercially developed. Its entrance is often closed, and entry requires advance arrangement with a local guide or cave association. Bring your own headlamp. It is about 10 km from Vama Veche.
