52067. In front of the cave entrance
Most images are approximately 683 times 1024 pixels in size, numbers in front of the picture descriptions are the serial numbers of the original photo files. Names of several cave parts were given by the author. Made with participation of Vladimir Levašov, who significantly contributed to the success of the excursion by finding a passage to the inner parts of the cave, which the author had overlooked several times before. Claudio Bratos and Stojan Sancin are also mentioned in the description.

52067. In front of the cave entrance
52068. The (too) narrow passage at the end of the South tunnel, through which Stojan (in Jezerina) and Claudio (in Mitja's cave) managed to talk, is a pretty tough nut to crack. It will require careful consideration of how to approach its widening.
52069. View of the hall in the South tunnel towards the north
VL15. Two small ice stalagmites at the beginning of the North tunnel, view from the north
52073. The view from the front of the Main hall of the Northern tunnel towards the exit (middle right) is now more or less done. Previous versions of the photo, 52037 and 52039 were both too inexpressive.
52075. The view from the rear (northern) part of this hall towards the middle succeeded in the second try - the first version (52074) was a little overexposed on the right side.
52076. The view from the middle of the hall towards the north end will still need to be improved. While the author was working in the Main hall, Vladimir went to closely inspect the whole tunnel, found a narrow passage to the inner parts of the cave (it is situated on the far left a little out of this picture), examined all of it and returned after almost an hour and a half. He and the author then went to the end of the inner parts, and the refinement of this photo was left for some other time.
VL14. White spray on the stalactite drapery on the way towards the end of the cave
52077. Narrow passage to the left at the end of the last hall. At the very end of the hall, there is a large flowstone heap which completely closed the tunnel. It is more than three meters high and about five wide, all covered with signatures engraved in flowstone - the oldest is from 1915. The narrow passage is about 15 meters long, dug into the soil. Great work, the two piles in front of the passage, on the left and on the right side, are very impressive. Vladimir could not notice any draft in the passage.
52078. View towards the exit from the End hall. All shades of brown.
52081. The richest scene on the way back
52083. Flowstone Spanish breeches and columns, with "monster skull" on the right
52084. One last richly ornamented scene. The cave is a treasure trove of beautiful motifs, who could depict them all?
