Hello my name is Laszlo and we are going in this matteous cave which is under the Buda hill and I will teach you about caving. We are looking at the floor of a cave which is formed by the Tama water which has made two or three per cent of them. Most of the caves are formed by the cold water when the rain falls on the surface and the water forms a crack maybe and it is going down and dissolving the stone. In a cold water cave the water is coming from the surface and it is very very cold and here used to be coming up fro the deeper parts and it was warm so they are different. Cold waters are not so glubberous like these so it is much easier to get lost here.
