Situated in the  Demanovska valley, on the northern side of the Low Tatras, in the National Nature Reserve Demanovska Valley, in the territory of the Low Tatras National Park. It was formed in the Middle Triassic limestones by the ponor flow of Demanovka at four developmental levels,  into which steep passages modelled by lateral tributaries infall. The cave length is 8,126 m. Sinter „water-lilies" and other lacustrine forms, as well as eccentric stalactites are unique among phenomena of sinter filling. Mighty sinter waterfalls and stalagnates, sphaerolithic stalactites and many other diverse forms of stalactites and stalagmites are captivating. The cave was discovered through a dry ponor of Demanovka in 1921. A part of the cave has been open to the public since 1921, upper parts since 1933. The length of publicly accessible section is 1,800 m. From 1993 to 1998 the cave was serving for speleotherapeutical procedures.
