Collection(s):

It is a natural cave that has been inhabited by man, with an absolute altitude of 305 m, a relative altitude of 20 m and a total length of 1,000 m, having an entrance of 3.05 m high and 5 m wide, and a corridor leads from to a bridge over the lake to a spherical room called the Globe. It was discovered in 1903 and was opened to visitors in 1905 when G. Czaran published a guide to the cave. It was also researched by Marton Roska between the two world wars, and from 1952 by H. Kessler and other researchers who, in addition to a rich fauna of troglobionts, mention Neolithic pottery of the Tisa type and from the Bronze Age. The materials are similar to those in the nearby Devent II and III caves.... Currently, the cave is under the administration of the Museum of the Country of Crişurilor, which, in 2004, re-electrified and remodeled the visitable area to European standards, on a circuit lasting 30-60 minutes.
