45072. Lords-and-Ladies, Arum maculatum, pegasti kačnik in Slovenian, with vividly coloured fruit. It is certainly not to be touched and is particularly harsh to mucous tissue.

45084. View south from the viewpoint above the cliff, to Babni dol (northern bay of Planinsko polje) in front, Mt. Planinska gora at the right and Planina in the center
45085. Forest undergrowth which found a lifetime opportunity after tall trees were mostly gone after the February 2014 frozen rain, is now so big already that the author, for the first time in his life, missed the southern cave entrance. So we took the next turn from the forest trail and started the descent towards the northern cave entrance. In the picture: climbing over fallen trees, now fully overgrown.
45086. It was raining heavily at midday so the descent was very slippery in places.
45087. Asia, Tomek and Bartek in the rain forest
45088. Iza just entered the Kapelica / Chapel room, it is a narrow passage, but luckily a short one.
45089. Iza, Bartek and Asia on the flowstone heap - they were the only members of the team who mastered the entrance squeeze.
45090. The team in the anteroom of Kapelica
45091. In the Southern Entrance - view out
