History of Palvolgyi Cave in Budapest

Hello my name is Lazlo and we are going in this matteous cave under the Buda hill and I will teach you about caving. Here we are in Budapest under the Buda hill so although there are some houses and parks and not very big city parks but some houses and roads. So at some point in 1936 this hole, what you see now, was dug out by someone called Moas Bayla in 1948 so before 1948 the first room, what we just left, was very useful of the second room because some people who live on the surface escaped from the bombs here so it was very very good shelter. They made some lines in the clay and you see the edge of the stone, this was also made by people. Here have been many people because it is the first part of the cave so many people have been here.
