The Romanesti Cave can be found in a forest, in Timis County, near the village which has the same as the cave, making it a peaceful and accessible destination for visitors. The cave is easy to reach, and exploring it is a straightforward experience for anyone interested in nature. As an interesting fact, a few years ago, it was the site of symphonic concerts, where musicians performed in the cave’s natural acoustics.

How to find your way to Romanesti Cave

In the village of Romanesti, while driving on the main road towards Valea lui Liman, you’ll need to make a left turn almost at the center of the village. After turning, you’ll pass by a cemetery and an old wooden church, which has recently been renovated. The asphalted road is quite narrow so it’s important to drive carefully. Once the asphalted road ends, you’ll continue for a few kilometers on a dirt road on the edge of the forest. Don’t worry the road is actually not that bad and you can drive easily with a normal car.
