Alabastrová jaskyňa is one of the most mysterious caves in the Belianske Tatry — closed to the public, hidden within the massif of Bujačí vrch, and wrapped in a sense of untouched wilderness. Even if you cannot step inside, knowing this secret place exists makes any hike through the surrounding forest feel like a genuine discovery.
The cave stretches for around 400 metres of passages, and speleologists have found an underground waterfall and a karst lake inside its main corridor. Once known as 'Dračia diera' (Dragon's Hole), it was declared a natural monument in 1981. The trail leading toward the cave is rough and overgrown, crossed by fallen trees, and in winter the steep slopes become genuinely hazardous. This is a place for adventurous hikers who appreciate wild, unmanicured nature rather than a tamed tourist attraction.
How to get thereThe oldest inscription carved into the rock at the cave entrance dates to 1768 — though legend has it that Juraj Bohuš, rector of the Kežmarok grammar school, may have discovered it as early as 1713 during his wanderings through the Belianske Tatry.
