The tour leads from the village of Carasova through a hilly and wooded landscape to the Comarnic Cave, which is the longest (4040m) and one of the most beautiful caves in the Banat Mountains and is a protected nature reserve. The opening hours of the cave are Saturday and Sunday between 10 am and 6 pm. From Monday to Friday, a guide is available for groups of five or more.

For up-to-date information, visit the website of the Semenic-Caras Gorge National Park. The entrance fee is 10RON.

Author’s recommendation

During the spring, the lilacs bloom and the gorge path is extremely colourful.

Follow the signs to the Comarnic cave north-west uphill. We walk through a deciduous forest until we reach another clearing. Here you will find the Comarnic canton (Försterhaus). A little further south we meet the hut.
