Top 3 Caves in Komárom-Esztergom

Life-threatening! Both the approach and the iron bridge that has remained from the middle of the last century. It's a disgrace! The area around the cave is not only not cordoned off, but not even signposted! Whoever is here at night and doesn't notice is done for.... They will fly about 30m in free fall. I don't know much about the cave, but it's certain that nobody takes care of it.

The name is not accidental: the "gyilokjáró" was a section of walkway on the walls of bastions that served for the defense of medieval castles. This name is perfectly suited to this natural rocky edge, through which we can reach the Pes-Kő cave. It is a section about 100 m long. The cave also has a rather large opening, it can be about 15 meters deep, and we can easily walk in. The view is spectacular. And the very feeling that our ancestors (?) once lived in such places. However, the limestone cliff and the cave are not fenced, there is no protective railing or anything. Oh, and the tourist sign is also missing. You cannot go down safely by bike, because, I repeat: the whole thing is incredibly precipitous....! But the experience is great!

Cave that can be visited with a guide, approx. 150m long. Next to its entrance, a small mine cart "adorns" the site, which was a tool for miners and speleologists when the cave was explored. The cave is famous for its gypsum crystal formations. It is very close to another nearby cave, the one on Nagy-Strázsa hill.

Let me clear up a small confusion: The Sátorkőpusztai Cave, famous for its crystals, has a separate entrance further down, at the foot of the mountain - meaning we are talking about two separate caves within a few meters of each other. The Strázsa Hill Cave, which is the highlight: Its entrance is the "Fairy Gate" (Tündérkapu), which requires climbing up a rather steep "path" towards the rocks. Upon reaching here, we arrive at the open hall section, at the end of which a gate closes the cave entrance. The cave is 65m long, formed by geysers, limestone. Outside the "Fairy Gate", there are a few other cavities, but they are much less significant than the rock formation, from which the view is also brilliant.

Already at the time of its creation, the English Garden was a popular place for strollers to enjoy its shade and coolness in the summer heat.

On the asphalt road below the Castle, a sign and benches mark the shrine cave, which is accessed by stairs. It is steep, and we can only reach it on foot. The Sanctuary is an area closed off by gates, with a resting bench in front. The name Lourdes essentially commemorates a Marian apparition.

Jankovich Cave is a remarkable prehistoric cave on the cliffs of Öreg-kő. Its giant chamber is naturally lit by a circular skylight in the ceiling, creating one of the most unique cave interiors in Hungary. Access is easy from the Blue Trail: at the Öreg-kő resting area, follow the blue Ω marker and climb the stairs to the cave entrance.

Actually a doline, or perhaps a collapsed sinkhole, and right next to each other 2. It's not that dangerous to "walk" around in the vicinity, obviously don't step into the "pit"! Sometime in the past, you could also discover a wall remnant made by human hands, but this won't be the highlight that draws many people here. Much more important is that we don't collapse! There are no warnings or prohibition signs indicating this, you can step into it unsuspecting. Oh, and no opening is visible, so this cave hasn't been a cave for a long time :-)
