Sunday morning, June 29 – Pre-school cave visit
For those who arrive on Saturday, and want to spend Sunday morning seeing an exciting piece of nature, we have organized a visit to Szemlő-hegyi cave, which is a unique cave in the Buda hills, also called “underground flower garden” due to the stone formations found in the cave. The public part of the cave can be conveniently visited on foot on safe pavements, however the temperature is constant 12 degrees Celsius, so long sleeves are highly recommended inside the cave. English guidance will be provided.
