On our way to Italy, we stopped in the Karst Region of Slovenia. It is apparently like Swiss Cheese underground the whole area, so we decided to visit the less touristy Skojcan Caves. Now this was a day trip we would not regret as the caves were absolutely spectacular. The first section, silent caves, were stalactites and stalagmites but in some large caverns. Some excellent formations.
Now the second part was a cavern where the river has cut into. This was a massive cavern, probably 400 ft tall with the river at the bottom. I have never seen anything like this, it was amazing. We were perched on the cliff side, probably 200 ft up from the river on a trail cut along the cliff. The lights you can see on the picture mark the trail, and the light in the lower right is the river. Sorry about the poor picture, but you were not allowed to take photos and we had to sneak a couple in when the guides weren't watching. *Stub
