Scărișoara Cave, Romania

Scărișoara Cave, Romania

Scărișoara Cave is the biggest Ice cave in Romania and is situated in the Apuseni Mountains almost 40km away from the town of Campeni, Alba. It is more than 3000 years old cave and is at the height of 1165 meters above sea level. It was discovered by Arnold Schmididi in year 1863 (dates are not exactly sure). So be ready to get freeze if you are planning to go there in winters as temperature falls down to -7⁰C , in summers also the climate remains cold as temperature retains at 1⁰c though it is 35 degree outside. It is one of the kind natural attraction in Romania.

At the entrance of Scarisoara cave, locals are selling jam, traditional pie, syrups, palacinkas with jam inside and other local products. The cave has a length of around 700 m and a depth of around 100 m. The paths are not easy to go and it is chilled inside so a kind suggestion for you all to bring your warm clothes, good shoes, cap etc. People with health issues shouldn't go. As there is non existence of light and warden will show you the path with the help of his oil/ carbon lamps so i would suggest you to bring a good quality flash light.

Note : Safety precautions are not up to the mark. So if you could bring few basic medicines related to mild fever or cold would be great.
