    Several shots of people with flaming beacons entering a cave and walking through the dark caverns. Several shots of stalactites and stalagmites. Commentator keeps up spooky / silly commentary.

    These caves may well be, as the commentary says, "near the Hungarian border", but Styria is and always has been in Austria - not Hungary.
