Ialomita caves

Forgive me for posting so many photos but it sort of makes up for last year's caves in Slovenia where photography was not allowed. Here you had complete freedom. The caves weren't as vast (last year was the largest cavern in Europe) or as majestic but they were much more accessible. A metal walk way made for an easy track through the length of the cave (at least those parts we're allowed to get to). At times the path passes through tight spaces where you have to twist or duck to avoid the rock and this added to the feeling you are descending into a deep space. Although at times the path is only wide enough for one person, there weren't too many people and only rarely did we get bottlenecks. The large rock in one photo is in the bear cave, but from what I read the cave got it's name from some bones found there and not the rock formation. We didn't dwell too long anyway, aware we were on a tight schedule, but I think this worked as we probably didn't have energy for a longer day.
