The Origins Behind the Caves

The remarkable caves were discovered in 1938, unveiling a network that stretches for over three kilometers beneath the surface. These limestone formations, carved by water over millions of years, reveal mesmerizing stalactites, stalagmites, and vast chambers. Today, they stand as one of Europe’s most fascinating natural attractions.
