Sugo Cave

The Sugo Cave is the biggest cave in Giurgeu Mountains, with 1021 m total lenght of galleries, 142 m extension and 67 m dislevelment. The cave has 3 fossile levels above its active passage. It is rich in speleothems like aragonite crystals and concretions, helictites and mace-like stalactites. Only the first 120 m from the cave's entrance are easily accessible for tourists. Saturdays and sundays you can find a cave guide in the wooden house, close to the caves main entrance.
