Cave Bath is a thermal bath in a natural cave in Miskolctapolca (barlang fürdő) Hungary.
This is a must see when travelling around the region of Miskolc Hungary.
Awesome accoustics in the dark,star domed cave !
Try to visit it on weekdays because on weekends and June to august months it is just too overcrowded !
The cave and the thermal spring have been known since ancient times.
In the early 20th century, the growing city of Miskolc bought the area from the Greek Orthodox Church not only because of the thermal water but also because of the drinking water source (which now provides half of the city's water supply).
In the following years, new public baths were built. In 1934, Tapolca was officially recognised as a spa town. In 1939, the construction of a new bathing house began. During the construction, several archaeological findings were unearthed, and a new, previously unknown water spring was found with a water temperature of 31.5°C. The thermal bath was opened in 1941 but the Cave Bath itself was opened only on 14 May 1959.
Since then, the bath complex has been expanded several times. The outdoor pool and the characteristic, seashell-shaped roof before it were built in 1969. In the 1980s, new rooms and corridors were built, and warmer pools (34°C and 36°C) were constructed. The newest expansion of the bath complex started in 1998.
