The entrance of the cave is from the clearing of Suncuiusi. Seeing the concreted entrance a nescient can neither imagine what does it hide behind the hole from what a strong wind blows? Its name fits it. At the cave's entrance there is a wind sometimes of 50 km/h.
It was discovered in 1957 by Béla Bagaméri, the founder of the Cluj Napoca Amateur Caving Club, who still studies and administrates the cave. It develops 4 stories: the inferior, what is crossed by an underground stream and 3 fossil superposed levels, connected by shafts.
In the first part of the inferior corridor there are reach concreted sections. From here we could fill whole pages with the cave's content. It is not surprising its length is approx. 52 km and on a lenght like this we can find all the possible formations of a cave...but the unique ones as well, that you look for it without a result at another place. So we better let you to look at these pictures made by Romanian and Hungarian cavers who have made a real expedition in the cave. You may consider yourself lucky of you manage to get into the longest cave of Romania, the Winds Cave.
From 2003, a 730-meter long visitor section was built. The cave is closed and under the care of the Cluj-Napoca Amateur Caving Club. Visits are only possible after prior consultation with a tourguide. Apart from the visitor section, it is only recommended for experienced cavers.

There is also a traditional cache and an earth cache at the Cave of the Winds, but since both are in the closed area and they are inaccessible to those who have not arranged a visit. Therefore, I thought that a box would also be useful for those who do not have the opportunity to visit the cave.
The cave can be approached on the railway connecting Cluj-Napoca with Orchard, or on the E60 national road. Driving along the E60 road, we turn onto the DJ 764C road, which we drive for 11 km. At the village of Vársonkolyos (Șuncuiuș), heading in the direction of the castle, we will soon reach the suspension bridge. Crossing it, we reach the entrance of the cave and the cache, who is located at the N46° 56.305' E22° 32.645' coordinates.
