The passage Thomas De Marchi ends in a chamber wit

The passage Thomas De Marchi ends in a chamber with beautiful dry flowstone basins. Discovered in 2016, the passage is a 400-meter-long gallery of underground wonders in the Grotta Impossibile cave, near Bazovica, #Italy. Explorers had to climb 50 meters and set up several traverses to reach the passage. The ancient fossil tunnel is relatively clean and free of sediments, but with fragile ground in many places, making it extremely delicate. It cannot withstand mass visits and requires great caution from cavers. Access to the tunnel is strictly regulated.

The Eastern Passage in the cave Predjama is considered a beautiful combination of a water tunnel with cave decorations and big halls. Predjama, #Slovenia, lies beneath the famous Predjama Castle and is considered one of the longest caves in Slovenia. Together with Jama v Grapi, it forms a multi-level cave system extending all the way to the active parts of the Lokva sinkhole.

A view of part of the Black Chamber in the cave Predjama, where the cave splits into two sections. The Eastern Passage leads toward the tributary parts connected with Jama v Grapi, while in the Western Passage one can reach the lower levels of the underground flow of the Lokva sinkhole. Predjama, #Slovenia, lies beneath the famous Predjama Castle and is considered one of the longest caves in Slovenia. Together with Jama v Grapi, it forms a multi-level cave system extending all the way to the active parts of the Lokva sinkhole.

Some passages in the cave Križna jama were once dry, and at that time stalagmites could form, since they require a base to grow. Later, when water began to flow again, a stalagmite could survive only if its base also remained intact. Križna jama, located in #Slovenia, is considered to be one of the most beautiful and best preserved caves in Europe, known by a chain of underground lakes with emerald green water.

The end of the Conglomerate Hall in the cave Najde

The end of the Conglomerate Hall in the cave Najdena jama. The southern part of Najdena jama was once connected to the neighboring cave Vranja jama, but today they are separated by a gigantic collapse, a remnant of the former ceiling of a vast chamber. Najdena jama, #Slovenia, is one of the caves featuring an underground course of the Unica River, located above the northern edge of the Planina Karst Field, Slovenia. With a length of over 5 kilometers and a rich history of exploration, it ranks among the most important caves in this area.

A view of the Cerkvenik Bridge from the Novak Brid

A view of the Cerkvenik Bridge from the Novak Bridge, which is anchored at the narrowest part of the Hanke Canal, 80 metres above the Reka River in the Škocjan Caves, #Slovenia. The Novak Bridge, also called the Cat Footbridge or the Suspension Bridge, is considered the boldest achievement of cave workers who, in difficult conditions, carved more than 12 kilometres of pathways towards the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The Novak Bridge was renovated in 2014 by Iztok Cencič and Borut Lozej. Since 1986, the Škocjan Caves have been listed as a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site, placing them in a special and honorable position among the natural monuments of the world.

The largest underground chamber in Slovenia, Marte

The largest underground chamber in Slovenia, Martel’s Chamber, ends with a lake beneath a mighty wall more than 100 metres high. Through this passage, an enormous amount of water must flow, capable of filling most of the chamber during extreme floods. Since 1986, the Škocjan Caves have been listed as a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site, placing them in a special and honorable position among the natural monuments of the world.

View from the top of Kalvarija towards the exit in the Eastern Tunnel of the cave Kačna jama. The cave Kačna jama is considered one of the most important caves in #Slovenia, where can cavers reach the Reka River. The first explorers, with a great deal of courage, overcame the entrance shaft, which is over 180 meters deep, as early as the late 19th century. With a length of over 20 km, it ranks among the longest caves in Slovenia.

After the narrowest passages in the upper part of the cave Skalarjevo brezno, at a depth of –350 meters the shafts once again widen and become easier to pass through. Skalarjevo brezno on #Kanin, where explorations have been ongoing since 1985, is considered one of the deepest caves in #Slovenia. In 2021, cavers discovered a continuation that led them into new sections, where they finally surpassed a depth of 1000 meters and explored several additional kilometers of passages. Today, the cave reaches beyond 1200 meters, and explorations are still ongoing.

Eroded rock with grooves over a meter deep, formed due to changes in the chemical composition of the water in the cave Matejeva jama near Orlek, Sežana, #Slovenia. The newly discovered cave Matejeva jama is one of the most significant recent discoveries in the Sežana Karst area.
