Skocjanske Cave

May 31st found us east of Ljubljana, Slovenia visiting the Skocjanske cave.

Sadly we were not allowed to take pictures inside but it was absolutely huge.  Because most of Slovenia's bedrock is made up of limestone, it allows for lots of wonderful caves and formations within those caves.

Slovenia has 11,500 known caves and Skocjanske is the largest cave in the world, opening for tours in 1819.




Inside the cave are a total of 500 steps, leading up and down along beautiful maintained paths, criss crossing between stalagmites and stalactites.







There is a river running through part of the cave and at one point you cross over a bridge, which if you are brave enough to look over, you can see the grand canyon and river below!

Around each and every corner was another amazing and unbelievable sight.
