36582. It all began as an excavation of a small blowhole, undertaken by cavers from Jamarsko društvo Sežana Caving Club (JDS), in 2008 and 2009. Because of other, more promising projects the site was abandoned till this year, when a senior team from JDS, Jaka in the picture is one of the members, joined forces with Stojan and Claudio from JOSPD Trst (Caving Section of the Triest Slovenian Alpine Association) and resumed digging. The work in 2017 took two months, three full shifts per week.
