Properties of Thermal Caves

The walls are not straight here. There are many shapes on the walls. Maybe you know that this cave was formed by the tama waters so some hundred thousand years ago the tama water had come up and then run back. So the caves which are formed by the tama water are very dry. There is no connection with the surface so even if you have some weeks when it is always raining it is a dry cave and it is good to come here during this time. Because of this it does not have any stalactites because there is no connection with the surface and that is why you would not see stalactites here. Some people know that Budapest is the capital of Terminus and Hot Springs. There is no other capital in the world where there are so many terminuses are. It can mean even the capital of the names of the caves there are no other capital in the world where there are so many caves. So under the Buda hill there are some caves and like six or seven of them are longer than one kilometer long so there is no other in the world were so many and such long caves are. This cave is very big already but when we go through a smaller hole you can imagine that it used to be the end of the cave and someone has taken the stones away from it and formed another part of the cave. So when we go through a small hole you can imagine that it used to be the end of the cave or the bottom of the cave and it means that it is still about 20 kilometers long.
