48870. Once it was a small path that led to the cave, from the cart track Planina railway station - Laze village, now it is now a wide barren clearing. Only the uprooted hazel bush on the left, and not only this one, testifies to the fact that heavy machinery was at work.
48868. The path was widened when felled spruces were pulled out of the doline near the cave, now only the stumps have remained.
48869. The entrance to the cave has also been considerably altered. There are two 110 l plastic barrels in it, most likely intended to be placed at the bottom of the pit, where they would be filled with water and then, during the drought season, poured down the fissure. Observers in the Eastern tunnel of Mačkovica cave, which would wait for the event to happen, would notice a water current down the tunnel wall or ceiling above which the Klojerca cave is situated. If the water would not show up, however, it would mean that the two caves are not directly connected (see the cave map).
