Emil Racovita Description Named after the eminent 19th century Romanian biologist Emil Racovita, the cave complex in the village of Criva in Moldova is one of the biggest in the world. A network of underground galleries stretches over 89,000m (291,991 ft) and is split across several levels. Discovered in 1959, the cave is the third largest gypsum cave in the world and parts of the complex are only accessible via large wells. The huge caves have been given names such as Cinderella’s Hall and Dacia’s Hall reflecting their size and grandeur and there are also several underground lakes including the Blue Lake and the Dinosaur Lake. There are no trail markers but visitors are able to explore the caves in small groups with an experienced guide. Transportation Air: Chisinau International Airport. Rail: Train: Public services.
