Lóczy barlang was formed by thermal springs waters rising through Mid Triassic limestones. The solution processes forming the cave left the typical solution pits in floor and walls. The thin horizontal limestone layers are clearly visible and give the cave a strange character. There are little dripstones, but a few rare speleothems formed by the thermal water, like aragonite. Small bulbous aragonites are locally called pea-stones.
Lóczy barlang was named after the famous scientist Lajos Lóczy (1849-1920) renown for his work on Lake Balaton.
