Scarisoara Glacier Cave (Peştera Gheţarul de la Scărişoara)
The Glacier Cave from Scarisoara is the first speleological reservation in Romania, located in the Apuseni Mountains, Alba County. The place hides a huge block of ice over 10,000 years old, perfectly preserved at the bottom of a 48-meter deep pit. Descending the stairs anchored in the rock instantly transposes you from a green mountain landscape directly into a frozen microclimate, where the Great Hall impresses with translucent ice stalagmites that never melt.
The Cave of Disease (Peștera Bolii)
The name of the cave comes from the noble family of Bolia, documented since 1404 in a deed of donation by King Sigismund.
