Description
Scarisoara Ice cave one day tour from Oradea
- Situated in the Apuseni Mountains almost 40 km away from the town of Campeni, in the North-Western part of the district of Alba, in the commune of Garda de Sus, Scarisoara Cave is one of the largest ice caves in Romania (it holds the world’s second largest glacier; the largest in the world is in Austria).
- First mentioned in 1863 by the Austrian geographer Arnold Schmidl, who made some observations and the first map of the cave, but it was later explored by the Romanian scientist and speleologist Emil Racoviță between 1921 and 1923, who mentioned it and its origin in his 1927 work Speleology. It is 105 m deep and 720 m long, and the entrance shaft (60 m in diameter and 48 m in depth) gives access through metal stairs to a large chamber, (108 m long, 78 m wide) – The Big Hall.
- From this point three openings lead to The Church (in front, with over 100 stalagmites) Great Reservation, Coman Gallery and Little Reservation.
- The part that tourists can visit includes the entrance shaft, The Big Hall and The Church, the other chambers, which can be visited only with the agreement of the Speological Institute of Cluj-Napoca, being reserved for scientists.
