Caving in the Apuseni Mountains
The Scarisoara Cave or the Scarisoara Glacier - the largest ice cave in Romania, boasting over 3,000-year-old ice, is located in the Apuseni Mountains in Alba County, 16 km from the Scarisoara commune that also lent its name to this geological marvel. It currently pertains to the Garda de Sus village.
Declared a natural monument and a speleological reserve, the cave holds the world's second largest underground glacier after the Dobsinska cave in Slovakia. Situated at an altitude of 1,150 meters, it is famous for housing inside a glacier with an area of over 5,000 sq. m. and an ice layer between 26 and 37 meters thick.
The tour to Apuseni Mountains starts from Cluj. The first stop is at Scarisoara Cave also known as Scărisoara Glacier. Next destination is Rosia Montana, a mining town for over 2000 years and one of the most wild and untouched areas of Romania. After exploring we leave towards Cluj.
