Map of Padiş: V5 vertical cave

The V5 vertical cave is to be found near Padis, in the Varaso basin. It is a closed cave, open only for professionals, it is not yet fully discovered. The actual 20km that is explored so far takes 4-5 days walk. The way may be dangerous. Since its discovery (1986) more than 150 national and international professionals worked in it.
The very small entrance gives a false impression, as it leads to the deepest cave of the country (653 m). The Malos Pal hall in the depth 1200000m 3 and 415 m long, is the second largest. There are several pits in the channels, among its creatures we can find a 25 cm long aragonit pricks.
Scientists consider as the biggest succes of the year 2008 to discover the connection of V5 and the Frigiderul lui Gigi vertical caves. The labyrinth of channels make us estimate a 50km network under the Padis plateau.
