Guided by: Paul Veenvliet, Licensed Guide and Biologist

This is the place where I go with guests who are in Slovenia for the first time. Imagine a landscape with caves and underground rivers, where elves and trolls dwell. Ravens fly overhead (they actually nest nearby). It is really an unforgettable place, but beware: you better take a good look because the extreme contrasts between light and dark make it challenging to capture the beauty of this place on photographs. 

The geological history has shaped this area. In the karst, rivers and streams flow deep underground. At this particular place, an underground river has created a vast cave. Eventually, the cave ceiling became instable and collapsed. The water continued to dissolve the limestone rocks, until a lovely valley remained. The river still quietly meanders through this lush green place. 

But nearby, the process of cave formation and ceiling collapse continues. Fortunately (for us), this takes place over a geological timescale, and only frequent visitors to the place may notice the occasional differences, like a rock that came loose from a cliff. But what everyone notices, is the sheer beauty of this rugged place!
