the Middle Triassic limestones by the ancient paleoflow,

cave is about 2,763 m. The cave is known for a rich
occurrence of white soft sinter. Mighty pagoda-like
stalagmites, sinter waterfalls, draperies and sinter
pools can easily catch your eyes. The cave shelters 9
species of bats with the dominant Myotis myotis -
having the colony of about 1,000 members. Its winter
colony ranks among the most important ones in Slovakia.
The entrance space called Izbica (Little Chamber) has
