A view from the Bear Cave.
The cave was discovered at 17 September, 1975 during an exploding of the marble exploitation creating a hole through what Curta Traian had climbed down for the first time. The rift was covered then after the exploration of the cave-system a part of it was electrified and the official opening of the cave was at 14 July 1980. It gained the admiration of the people not due to its length but due to the density of its formations. It is 1.5 km long 521 meter of it serving for scientific research and it can’t be visited. On the upper, visitable level are seeable those formations photos of which are known all over the world. Three corridors: the Bear, the Emil Racovita and the Candles corridor takes us to the Candles, the spaghettis, the Emil Racovita and the Bones halls. The 45 minute visit begins with the Bears corridor where were founded several bear (Ursus Spelaeus) bones that haven’t lived on Earth for over 100 000 years. The cave is visited annually by 200 000 visitors. |
