Anna Cave, "Apple tree of Eve in the Paradise" limestone formation

The children's imagination is limitless. There is a so-called "Paradise Hall" (in Hungarian "Paradicsom terem") in the Anna Cave of Lillafüred. Allegedly some children renamed it "Broccoli Hall" because in their oppinion the limestone tufa formations inside the hall look like this vegetable rather than tomatoes. The key to this story is that the Hungarian word "paradicsom" both means "Paradise" and "tomato". The name of the hall of course doesn't refer to the vegetable, but the Garden of Eden and the so-called "Apple tree of Eve" rock formation of the cave. By the way, the Anna Cave was also functioned as a temple or church for a while, and although just with permission, but weddings still can be held here even today.
