The Tufa Cave at Tettye is a unique geological formation. This system of cavities is about ten thousand years old and has been formed in a thick, loosely structrued layer of freshwater lime tufa. During the centuries, the tunnels have been artificially extended and further corridors were scooped inside the mountain, creating a small maze system. Such cavities were once used as dwelling places. At the beginning of the 1900s, the Tettye Cave was a tourist attraction, called “Gateway to Hell” those days, with a dreadful dragon inside. This mystic system of underground cavities is now awaiting its visitors with an interactive exhibition.
