Abstract

Buhui Cave in the central part of the Reșița-Moldova Nouă karst region (Aninei Mountains) has a total length of 7429 m, of which 2100 m are represented by the main meandering stream passage that hosts spectacular vadose and phreatic morphologies. The cave has multiple entrances and includes a number of well-decorated chambers, in one of which remains of Ursus spelaeus and Capra ibex (Steinbock) were identified.
