Demanovska Cave of Liberty

The Demänovská Liberty Cave (Slovak: Demänovská jaskya slobody) is a karst cave in Slovakia's Low Tatras. In 1921, the cave was discovered, and in 1924, it was opened to the public. It is Slovakia's most visited cave. It has a distinctive drip stone adornment, making it one of Slovakia's most attractive caves.

At an elevation of 870 meters, the public entrance is located (2,850 ft). The cave's total length is 8,126 meters (5.0 miles), although only 1,800 meters (1.1 miles) are accessible to the public. The altitude difference of 67 meters must be overcome (about 10 minutes). Its corridors span more than 8,400 meters, with 7,624 meters having been examined thus far. The longer of the two visiting routes is 2,150 meters long, while the shorter walk (1,150 meters) takes 60 minutes. Bear's Passage was called after cave bear bones discovered there.

Large domes have been built, the largest of which is the Great Dome, which stands 41 meters tall and measures 75 meters in length and 35 meters in width. This cave has multiple big hollow areas known as halls and domes, each with beautiful sinters. The largest of these is Vek dóm, or the Large Dom. Visitors can observe the cave lakes as well as various portions of the Demänovka's underground river. The large lake is 52 meters long and 7 meters deep.

A 400-meter route with informative boards leads to the cave's entrance at an elevation of 870 meters. The walk will last about 10-15 minutes. The cave's average temperature is 6,1–7°C.
