Very interesting cave, that is well worth visiting.
The cache is placed outside the cave, and it is not required to take the tour!
But than it would just be another point in your statistics... ;-)
Every year we spend a lot of time, in discovering Slovenia. Geo caching is a very helpful tool to find many great places there, which you normaly do not find in a tourist guide.
So we decided to add another very special place to the long list of sites to visit. We were surprized that one had placed a cache there yet.
ENG:
