Mehedinti Mountains: The Cave from Mohilii Creek (Ascunsă Cave)

Ascunsă Cave is situated in the Mehedinţi Mountains and is part of the Isverna cave system. The cave was discovered in the late 1970s by members of the Focul Viu Caving Club, who surveyed the first 13.5 m of it. Since 2008, the “Emil Racoviţă” Institute of Speleology and the Underwater and Cave Exploration Group explored and surveyed 691 m of passages totaling 185 m of vertical development. Studies based on stalagmites from this cave revealed the climate evolutions during the last glacial cycle.
