The Škocjan Caves remain the only monument in Slovenia and the Classical Karst region on UNESCO’s list of natural and cultural world heritage sites. Thus, they hold a significant position among the world’s natural monuments. |
There are more than 7000 caves in Slovenia, but a unique underground gorge and its many vast chambers make the Skocjan Caves special. They are a system of eleven interconnected caves, collapse dolines, natural bridges and sinkholes. Since 1986 they have been under protection of UNESCO as a part of its World Heritage Site. 
The caves lies on the Kras from where the technical term "Karst", used all over the world, originates. Once in the cave, one can admire marvellous stalagmites and stalactites of different colours, stone curtains and massive pools. The system is essentially marked by the Reka-'Velka voda river', which flows through the caves, where it falls into a series of cascades and waterfalls, thumble down the rocks or comes to rest in small underground lakes.On their banks visitors can enjoy in the reflections of the karst subterranean images on the water surface. A visit with experienced guides will take about an hour and a half.
