Retezat

Cave no.5

GPS Coordinates:
45.27731 N, 22.89787 E

It's a cave hard to reach. It begins with an 8-meter-deep vertical, from where you get into a large room, where ice keeps much of the year. The main gallery gives a vertical one that continues upwards with a high horn of over 20 m and down with a clogged well. The Rhinolophus Lupeni Club is working on its unclogging, it seems the end point is below Jiu. Further on the horizontal gallery, we reach a beautifully concreted area ending with a canopy hall.
