Minerals in cave. (Nature reserve!)

Underwater labyrinth, the János Molnár Cave, which stretches for more than eight kilometers. Hungary's largest water-filled cave, part of the Danube-Ipoly National Park, would appear to be a small lake on the surface. Molnár shared his discovery with the public in 1858.
