Krizna Jama Cave

Krizna Jama Cave, on the eastern side of the Cerknica Lake in the Grahovo region, is famed for the excavated bones of the now extinct cave bear. The cave is roughly 8 kilometers long and features stunning stalactites as well as approximately 50 lakes that run parallel to the cave network.

Krina jama cave is one of Slovenia's most stunning tourist water caves. The Krina jama cave is one of the world's richest caverns, with 22 emerald lakes connected by an underground crystal-clear stream, old cave bear bones visible in side tunnels, and a large population of specialized cave dwellers. It is also Slovenia's seventh-longest cave system. People have been visiting the cave since the Neolithic Era, but it was previously ruled by the now-extinct cave bear. Paddling through the lakes in the karst subterranean and walking along the trails used by cave bears for hundreds of years is an adventure you will never forget.

The Krina jama cave's mysterious charm is hidden in its small pools. Behind sinter barriers, underground lakes up to 7 meters deep have formed. Because calcareous sinter develops faster on rapids than in calm rivers, the latter emerged.

The water from the Bloke plateau flows from one lake to another through these two channels, then goes on to the Nova Krina jama cave, which is closed to visitors, and eventually emerges as the Terbrica stream at the edge of the Cerknica plain.
