Back in 2019, the international team visited us for the first time, taking advantage of the excellent opportunities offered by the Molnár János Cave and its infrastructure.

The underwater explorations in the Molnár János Cave started more than 50 years ago. From the 1970’s they regularly dived there, and many years later they discovered the new part of the cave.

After the failed first dives in the lake, the cavers tried to exploring inside the hill. There was the hole which was discovered by János Molnár and his colleagues, and they knew there is water inside but nobody were able to find a passage. In 1959 members of a university cavers’ club descended to the cave and they saw there must be a passage underwater thanks to the low water level. István Holly and another caver were the first ones, who swam through the siphon with a simple diving mask and a watertight flashlight, without any breathing apparatus. They discovered a room filled with air. Istv ..read more
