Have
you ever wanted to go underground into a place untouched
by civilisation? No electricity, no telephone signal?
We offer you the chance to be guided into such a place,
150km from Cluj!
The Wind Cave (Pestera Vantului), is the largest cave
in Romania, and with a length of almost 52km, it is also
the most extensive limestone labyrinth and cave-reservation
in South-East Europe.
Though only one entrance is known in the lowest (Northern)
extremity, the length of the cave is growing fast from
one expedition to another. The huge exploration and surveying
work is not finished yet; there are several exploring
and surveying teams, as well as novice cavers who are
further exploring the complicated passage-networks.
The actual length of the cave is around 52km, but there
are many passages, which have never been surveyed. The
Wind Cave is a multi-levelled complex system, which has
a main active passage and three main fossil floors. In
actual fact, the number of the fossil levels is higher;
in some sectors there are 6, 7 or 9 levels together, forming
very complicated passage networks.
The average temperature in the cave is 11.8C, varying
in the entrance area and the main passages of the closed
sector. The very powerful draft, that can be sensed in
the entrance and in the far corners of the cave as well,
is bi-directional being controlled seasonally.
The program:
We'll travel to Suncuius - the nearby village, to the
riverside of the Cris river; here we'll take the equipment
and for a few hours we'll descend in the beautiful underground
world of the Wind Cave, and visit the tourist part of
it. Other optional activities: swimming or kayaking on
the river, visiting the ancient (Neolithic) settlement
from the Big Hungarian Cave, or the Vadul Crisului Gorges
and cave.
We are ready to show you the beauties of the underground
world!
