SLOVENŠČINA:
Jama Pekel je kraška jama, stara več kot 3 milijone let in ima bogato zgodovino. Leži sredi Ponikvanskega krasa, dobre 4 km severno od Šempetra v Savinjski dolini. Je ena največjih za turiste urejenih kraških jam na Štajerskem. Jamo je izdolbel tok potoka Ponikvica, ki pred jamo ponikne, iz nje pa priteče z imenom Peklenščica. 1159 metrov dolga pot po jami je lahkotno speljana in lepo vzdrževana.
Do zaklada nas vodi gozdna in geološka učna pot, ki je opremljena z zanimivimi informativnimi tablami, ki govorijo o gozdu, naravi, ekologiji, krasu in kraških pojavih. Na poti je 13 vsebinskih točk, ob njej pa najdete tudi veliko drugih zanimivosti. Ogledate si lahko apnenico, ostanke fosilov, kraško polje s požiralniki in lovsko opazovalnico, žejo pa si lahko pogasite s pitno izvirsko vodo Ločanke v hladni senci hrastov in borov na počivališču na vrhu poti. Na poti se nikakor ne morete zgubiti, saj vas po celotni poti usmerjajo smerokazi z logotipom sove.
ENGLISH:
The Pekel Cave is a karst cave with a long history. More than 3 million years old, it lies in the middle of the Ponikvanski kras region, about 4 km north of Šempeter v Savinjski dolini. The cave was created by the Ponikvica Stream that disappears in front of the cave and reappears in the cave as the Peklenščica Stream. The 1159-meter long path through the cave is easy and well maintained.
Forest and geology educational trail leads us to the geocache. Many information boards along the trail provide you with interesting knowledge about forest, nature, ecology, karst and karst phenomena. There are 13 of such information points along the trail, but also many other interesting sights, for example a lime-kiln, fossil remains, a karst polje with sinkholes, and a wildlife observation point. You can refresh with spring water in the cool shade of oak and pine trees at the top of the trail. Direction signs with an owl logo will lead you along the trail, so there would be no chance of you getting lost.
