35022. It all started with a flat tyre - luckily not on one of our two cars, but on a forestry tractor from Laze. In the picture - the rear wheel with defective tyre is already on the trailer, in a few moments the road will be passable again.

34980. Ujal and Gena at the entrance. Who would guess that behind little hole a great cave opens up, 6 km in length and with one of the halls as big as a footbal (European) field.
34981. In the southern entrance, view out
34983. Ujal in Kapelica / Chapel, cave studio portrait
34982. The flowstone heap - Kapelica is rich in cave concretions
34984. Ujal, chiaro scuro
34986. Gena, the climber
34987. Ujal on exit from Kapelica. The passage is low and narrow - what would his mother say if where he dared to go through ...
34990. Gena in the wall at the entrance of Stranski rov / Side Tunnel
34991. In the northern entrance - view out
34992. A light meal that will not interfere with further efforts: cooked chickpeas, curd, garlic, fig jam, aronia juice.
34993. A selfie of the entire team (it was tough to run from the tripod and position oneself in 10 seconds) in the cave entrance, view in.
34994. At the return from the Vodni rov / Water Tunnel - cave olms (Proteus anguinus) were not to be found because of very low water level.
34995. The biggest isolated rock in the cave, in the Suhi rov / Dry Tunnel
34996. Northern wall of the tunnel, just before the end (view in) is almost white, isn't it?
34997. In the passage to Mrzla jama cave - a designer play-of-light study
34998. Vertical drop that leads to Mrzla jama is equipped with a 4 m fixed iron ladder.
35000. Strong draft all the way to the entrance (view in) gives an impression of much colder temperature so some time off in the sun was most welcome.
35001. Time was running short, the excursion was entering its seventh hour (instead of foreseen 5), Gena had some housekeeping work to do at home, so we only examined the entrance.
35002. Ujal and Gena at the Članska vas caving shelter. JKLM does not stand for Just Keep Loving Me but for Jamarski klub Ljubljana matica, caving society (now DZRJL - Društvo za raziskovanje jam Ljubljana) which explored most of Najdena jama cave in the sixties of the past century. The shelter is a base for ongoing explorations around Najdena jama cave.
