The Scarisoara Cave is a true natural wonder, a giant ice block hidden deep in the forests of the Apuseni Mountains, standing, at 22 meters width and 700 meters length, as the largest glacier in Europe and second largest in the world. Two of the most astonishing caves inside the glacier are the Grand Hall and the Church, a chamber decked with ice stalagmites a few meters long.
