Therapeutic cave

Therapeutic cave

Discovered in 1902, this therapeutic cave system stretches into the Sarmatian limestone of the Balaton Highlands under the city of Tapolca, sections of which can be travelled in a boat. It is a touristic attraction. The beneficial effects on respiratory diseases in the cave’s section lying under the hospital and the hotel, is well known. Its air maintains steady microclimatic parameters; it is not exposed to aggressive outside factors and is virtually completely free of pollens, maintaining a consistent temperature of 14-16 °C. Its exceedingly clean air is very humid and is not exposed to dust. These factors themselves provide therapeutic and tranquillising effects.

Therapeutic cave recommendations:
Asthmatic diseases, bronchitis, pneumoallergic disorders. Staying in the cave has no known ill effects on anyone!
