April 11: Aggtelek Cave, Hungary and a Walk to Slovakia

In the morning we took a 2.3 km cave tour in the Baradla Cave. It started in the hills near Vörös Lake and involved around 600 steps, mostly downhill, ending in the neighboring town of Jósvafő. Along the way were incredible limestone formations including the tallest stalactite in Hungary (19 meters high) and the Giant's Chamber where we experienced complete darkness for a minute and then a sound and light show with excellent acoustics. . 



 Both before and after the tour we hiked in the woods around the cave entrance.
In the evening we walked to Slovakia and back. The border was only about a mile and a half from our hotel.
Our hotel included access to a kitchen area, so we bought bread, cheese, and eggs at the local store and made a picnic dinner.
