The Comarnic Cave is located in the heart of the Banat Mountains, approximately halfway between Reşita and Anina, near the confluence of the Comarnic stream and the Caraş river, being a speleological reserve (since 1947) in the Semenic National Park - Cheile Caraşului.
             The cave has two main entrances: one upstream (in the southeast direction), at an altitude of 473 m, where the Ponicova stream also enters, and a second one, downstream (to the north), located on the Navesu Mic slope, at an altitude of 443 m, from the immediate vicinity of Comarnic Canton (200 m); the level difference between the two entrances is 30 m.
             The Comarnic cave is the most beautiful and wild cave in Banat and even in Romania. It is the second longest in Banat (6,201 m), being surpassed in length only by the Buhui Cave (6,547 m).
             Of the more than 6,200 m structured on 3 levels (fossil, subfossil and active), tourists can only see the upper level, the "dry" one, over a length of 1750 m. The lower level is crossed by the underground course of the Ponicova stream.
