Cave Church and For Sale Pub

We walked across the Elisabeth Bridge and called into the Gellért Hotel and had a coffee there. This spa is inside the hotel which is the oldest thermal hotel in Hungary, the spa and pools are extremely luxurious and decorated in an art nuveau style. The hot healing waters have been flowing for 2000 years.

We then went to The Cave Church inside St Gellért’s Hill. This was founded in 1924 using St. Iváns cave (he had been a hermit living there in earlier times).

In January 2007 another cave system was found in this area it is 60m long by 18m deep in 3 rooms whose interior is covered in dazzling white crystals of gypsum, calcite and aragonite. These were immediately placed under legal protection.

Later we had lunch at the For Sale Pub, which from the outside looks like a feathered nest as it is lined with notes that have been attached to walls and ceiling. There is straw on the floors mixed with peanut shells as peanuts are provided on every table. The food is very good there, and reasonable.
