13:30 Lunch at the Speleological House

14:30 Karstic cave / visit

Visit of the Speleological Museum in Gorjuša with its permanent exhibitions. In the speleological collection we find examples of the most beautiful stalactites from the collection of the naturalist Franz Hohenwart from the beginning of the 18th century. In Robič’s natural history collection we find, among other things, a special species of blind beetle, Ceuthmonocharis robica, which was named after its discoverer, the biospeleologist Simon Robič. The archeological collection consists of Paleolithic finds and remains of fauna from Babja jama (Hag Cave). Also on display is the wreckage of a B-24 bomber, which crashed nearby during WWII.

Next up is a tour of the nearby Babja jama (Hag Cave) and the entrance to the 120-metre-long Železna jama (Iron Cave). Like all other karstic caves in Slovenia, it was formed by water. Although Železna jama is small, its delicate features are varied. We can see stalagmites and stalactites, sinter protrusions, gours and smaller sinter curtains. Other forms are corrosion hollows, scallops and remnants of a gallery. A special feature of the cave are the curved stalactites, which were shaped by the wind while forming.
