Last Saturday, thirty students embarked on a captivating journey to the famous Fertőrákos Cave, a historic limestone quarry and theater park just a bus ride away. Organized with the support of the University of Sopron, the trip offered students the chance to immerse themselves in local culture, history, and stunning natural beauty.
The day was filled with exploration and learning, made possible by the university’s sponsorship covering all ticket expenses. Accompanied by mentors, students ventured through the ancient stone halls, learning about the quarry’s history as an ancient sea bed, which over millions of years transformed into unique limestone formations.
In Their Own Words: Reflections from Students
“It was an amazing and exciting trip to the cave. I am so thankful to the mentors who guided us to and from the site, and above all the University of Sopron for sponsoring our tickets. Such events are important as we don’t only get to know new areas around us but also strengthen the bond amongst us (students) and the University at large. I can sincerely say, it was a memorable experience. I will be more excited if we continue to get more of the same. Warm greetings to you, our beloved mentor!”

“Visiting the Fertőrákos Cave Theater and Quarry Thematic Park is an experience that combines nature, history, and culture in an unforgettable setting. Walking through its stone halls feels like stepping into another era. There are plenty of fascinating details about the area’s limestone formations. I was amazed by knowing that it was a former sea territory.”

The trip left a lasting impact on students, enhancing their appreciation for local heritage and building a sense of community. It’s these shared experiences that make student life at the University of Sopron rich and memorable.
