New visitor centre on karst phenomena: Tapolca Lake Cave Visitor Centre

A tortuous cave system is hiding under the streets and houses of Tapolca, a little town not far from Balaton. In the strictly protected cave, which was discovered more than 100 years ago, the visitors can make a unique boat trip on the lit, bluish water of the underground lake.

From 21 January 2015 visitors are also invited to explore an interactive exhibition in the new Lake Cave Visitor Centre, focusing on the wonderful world of karst. The geological features are interpreted by special attractions, 3D photos and an impressive 3D film. The EU-funded investment is coordinated by the leading organisation of the Geopark, the Balaton Uplands National Park Directorate.

The (Hungarian and English language) leaflet of the new visitor centre can be downloaded from here.
