Its 22 km far from Beius. To arrive to the cave we have to follow the road that goes from Beius to Alesd and Borod.
At Remetea we leave the main road and we have to find the road marked with the inscription: Meziad 6 km we follow it until the traffic sign Meziad Cave from where we have to follow the path marked by blue triangle.
The blue triangle shows you the way from the end of the lake Lesu to the cave as well. The signpost shows 2.5 hour.
The Meziad Cave was explored, opened and mapped for the first time by Gyula Czaran (1847-1906) who joined his name to the mountain tourism of Bihor Montains. So at the beginning of the XX century it was numbered between the biggest caves of Europe.
In 1921 a caver team leaded by Emil Racovita the founded new galleries achieved over 35 km. Today the cave is of 4 774 m. It was between the first up built caves of the country.
In the galleries were formed fossil remains of ursus spelaens. The lime-stone formations the stalactits and stalagmits let us fly to a fairy world.
