The route with 3 tours (Aggtelek short tour, Jósvafő short tour, Red Lake tour) is built over the entire length with electric lighting, which can be carried out comfortably in street clothes for every age group. The curious thing about the Red Lake Tour is that at 1.5 miles (2.3 km) it is the world's longest cave trail with electric lights, walkways and bridges.
