Brasov County - Rasnov cave - Peştera Valea Cetatii
A short, though steep uphill 450 metre walk takes you through the entrance of the cave, set within the serene forest of the Bucegi Mountains. The cave was discovered over 60 years ago and was caused by an hydraulic explosion. The temperature inside is now maintained at 10 degrees celcius to preserve the interior and to prevent vegetation growing. It’s cool, damp and smells earthy inside the cave. The main cavity of the cave is filled with stalactites and stalagmites, often merging to meet in the centre of the cave. For dramatic effect, the lights were switched off by our guide so we could hear the large drops of water splashing onto the cave floor. In summer concerts are held in the main cavity, the acoustics are apparently amazing!
