Balkan Cavers Camp: Registration is Open!

 

The Romanian Speleological Federation will organize the 12th edition of BALKAN CAVER'S CAMP on 2-8 July 2018. The international meeting this year will include both the Romanian Speleological Congress and the "Speoarta" International Media Contest. The event will take place in Baru Mare, in the Haţeg County, with the support of the three famous parks: Retezat National Park, Geopark of Dinosaurs Haţeg Country - UNESCO international Geopark and Grădiştea Muncelului-Cioclovina Natural Park. Because this year we also celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of Emil Racovita, the founding father of international biospeleology and Romanian speleology, we plan this event to be a special one, bringing together personalities from around the world of caving.
