"Ialomița Cave," the most visited cave in the Bucegi Mountains, represents a point of great interest for tourism in Dâmbovița County. Hermits sought refuge at the sources of the Ialomița River as early as the 15th century, but the Ialomița Monastery was built in the 15th century, right at the entrance to the Ialomița Cave.

Ialomița Cave is located on the right slope of the Ialomița Gorges, in the town of Moroeni, Dâmbovița County, on Mount Bătrâna, about 10 km from the sources of the Ialomița River, at an altitude of 1,530 m.

Right at the entrance of the Ialomița Cave is the Monastery of Ialomița, built in the 16th century and founded by Mihnea the Evil, the voivode of Wallachia.

It is suspected that the hermitage of Mihnea the Evil might have been burned down and rebuilt several times, constructed from spruce logs, adorned beautifully from top to bottom with intricately carved designs.
