The Focul Viu Cave

Relief > W.Carpathians > Bihor-Vlădeasa > Galbena tour

The Hell-Fire cave is the third in the list of the ice-caves (25.000 cubicm). For visiting it we need warm clothes! It is a small cave, comprised of two halls, of which the first is larger and shelters the ice block.

Enough light penetrates through the window to reveal the groups of ice stalagmites that formed on the opposite side of the cave entrance. The sunlight enters directly through the ceiling window creating an amazing setting.

It's recommended to plan our cave-trip in mid-time as then the sun-ray gets into the cave through the duct. The ice block inside the cave is given that the broken ceiling favors the accumulation of the cold air which is maintained captive by the lack of ventilation.

The cave is visitable until the wooden balcony
