Buda Castle Labyrinth

The entrance to the Buda Castle Labyrinth is located on Úri Street.

Originally a natural formation, the natural cavities between the limestone and the underlying marl were washed out by the heat springs. Cavities were already in use 350,000 years ago.

In the 14th - 15th centuries, the cellars and wells of the houses were also added, and expansions were also carried out. Over the centuries it has been a refuge and a prison.

The cave system and the cellar system are located approximately 12 meters deep and, including the artificial parts, are 3300 meters long.

During the Second World War, the Hospital in the Rock operated in part of the tunnels of the Castle Cave, and some of its passages were used as shelters.

The part of the Buda Castle Labyrinth that can be visited today is 1,000 m. The average temperature is 16-18 degrees.
