Divers of the Dark (english version)

Exploring the Budapest’s Underground Caves

Budapest is known for its spas. Their water originates from the volcanic earth. One of the most well-known springs is Malom Lake. It is a doorway to the cave system called Molnár János. Only a part of it has been explored so far. Nobody knows how far or how deep below the city the tunnels reach.

Divers of the Dark is a unique journey into an underground world that only a handful of people have visited. The magnificent photos take the reader on an adventure into the depths of an inactive volcano. The caves are a prehistoric nature park that has been formed over millions of years.
