Abaligeti-barlang (Abaliget cave) is the largest and best-known cave of the Mecsek Mountains. It is a show cave, a popular excursion site, and also used for speleotherapy. The cave system is 1,750m long and consists of a central passage and two side passages. It is an active cave, the walls show spectacular corrosive and erosive forms, but little speleothems. Nevertheless there are fine dripstones in the Great Hall. Abaliget is rich in fauna, the most famous Troglobiont is Stenasellus hungaricus, a blind crab.
