Jama Mamet nalazi se na planini Velebit. Ovu impresivnu jamu je otkrio speleološki Odsjek Velebit 1968. godine.
Otvor jame je eliptičnog oblika, dimenzija 60 x 70 metara i predstavlja najveću jamu u Hrvatskoj. Dno jame dimenzija je 87 x 157 m.
Najveće jame na zemlji su često odredišta za base jumpere. Takva je u Meksiku poznata jama Sotano de la Golondrinas. A u Europi je to Mamet jama, koja je san svih base jumpera. Najpoznatiji takav događaj bio je 2004. godine, kada je austrijski base jumper Felix Baumgartner skočio u jamu.
Ta 206m duboka jama je vrlo opasna, čak i za dobre penjače i speleologe. Dakle, ne preporučujemo spust u nju i ne približavajte se rubu. Ono što svakako preporučamo je posjet tom impresivnom ulazu, iako je potrebno planinariti do njega. Pogled je prekrasan a moguće je vidjeti i dno jame. Slikom je teško dočarati njenu veličinu i impresivnost.

Jama Mamet (Mamet Pit) is located in the Velebit Mountains. This impressive pit has been discovered by the Speleological Section Velebit in 1968.
The opening of the pit is elliptical in shape, with dimensions 60 x 70 meters and its the largest pit in Croatia. The bottom of the pit size is 87 x 157 m.
The biggest pits on earth are often a destination for base jumpers. There have been various such events in Mexico's Sotano de la Golondrinas. And in Europe it is Mamet Cave, which is the dream destination of all base jumpers. The most famous event was in 2004, when Austrian base jumper Felix Baumgartner jumped into the pit.
This 206m deep pit is extremely dangerous, even for good climbers and cavers. So we do not recommend to enter it, we even recommend to be very carefull at the edge. Nevertheless we recommend a visit to the impressive entrance, although it requires some mountaineering. The view is breathtaking as it is possible to see the bottom of the pit. No photo can capture its size and impressiveness.
