Bears Cave

Bears' Cave is a true masterpiece of nature, unique in Romania and Europe. The cave was discovered in 1975, and after the local mines exploitations (Chiscau) the opening towards the underground emptiness was realized. Bears' Cave consists of four main galleries: Bones Gallery, Emil Racovita Gallery, Candles Gallery and the Scientific Gallery. The legend tells that due to the fall of a rock the cave entrance was blocked, more than 140 bears being trapped inside, and they attacked each other; thus originating the name of the cave.
