    The Barbarossa Cave covers 13,000 square meters and is one of only two existing show caves in the world, made of anhydrite rock, making it a geological rarity. The unique charm of this magical subterranean world lies in the uniquely beautiful, multi-layered play of colors of the white to gray rock.

        The Barbarossa Cave is one of two accessible anhydrite caves in the world.
        The cave includes wide cavities, grottos and lakes. The anhydrite turns into gypsum 🙂
