The Devil's Cave is located in Vulcan, Hunedoara county, on a sideway between Vulcan and Lupeni. To get there, after you pass the Paroseni power plant, turn left on the sideway and continue for 2 km. You can park the car at 45°20.909N 23°15.977E. From there, go down to the Baleia-river, you can hear the sound of the water from the wonderfull waterfall near the cave. The cave entrance is at 45°20.863N 23°15.966E.
The name of the cave comes from a rock inside the cave that was shaped due to erosion to a fist. The saga says that this is the fist of the devil, as he tried to come out of the rock wall.
To find the geocache, from the cave entrance go upwards on the path to the right side. The cache is under a big stone, see spoiler photos.
Initial content: logbook, stashnote, pencil, pen, digital wristwatch, lighter with LED, patches for bicycle tires, necklace, little car.

Pestera Dracului este situata in Vulcan, jud. Hunedoara. Venind dinspre Vulcan spre Lupeni, dupa ce treceti de termocentrala Paroseni virati la stanga pe drumul lateral ce merge prin spatele unui bloc si continuati 2 km. Masina poate fi parcata la 45°20.909N 23°15.977E. De aici, mai intai trebuie sa coborati in albia raului Baleia, pentru a admira frumoasa cascada din apropierea pesterii. La pestera se poate ajunge fie traversand raul la cascada si urcand pe versantul stancos la nivelul de sus al cascadei (atentie, teren foarte abrupt!), fie pe o cale mai usoara, revenind pe drum si traversand raul cu 50 m mai sus, deasupra cascadei, intrarea in pestera fiind la 45°20.863N 23°15.966E.
Denumirea pesterii provine de la o stanca din interior, erodata in forma de pumn. Legenda spune ca este pumnul dracului, care a incercat acolo sa iasa din munte.
Pentru a gasi geocutia, de la intrarea in pestera urcati pe cararea spre dreapta. Cutia se afla sub un bolovan mare, vezi fotografiile spoiler.
Continut initial: jurnal, nota de informare, creion, pix, ceas de mana digital, bricheta cu LED, petece pentru reparat anvelope de bicicleta,snur de chei, masinuta.
