48287. There are two ways to get to the cave, located south of Dolenja vas, either across the Cerkniško jezero plain, or from the road which runs through the forest above the plain edge. The latter gets you closer more easily and here is a view of the valley, usually flooded twice a year but now mostly dry, taken from the viewpoint along the road, from the west.
48288. A cottage near the trail which connects the road and the valley.
48289. Another view of the polje, Stržen river meanders at the side of it.
