Most images are approximately 768 x 1024 pixels in size,
numbers in front of the picture descriptions are serial numbers of the original photo files.
Made with participation of: Andrej Baraga, Metod Di Batista, Vladimir Levašov, Marjan Juvan - Manč,
Igor Maksim Košir - Ičo, Janez Modrijan - Modrc, and, in the afternoon: Marko Vogrič - Mare,
Alenka Terlep - Lenča, Polona Planina, Branka Hlad - Brana and Špela Di Batista Borko. The names of
the cave parts were sometimes given by the author.
The aim of the trip to Najdena jama was to fulfill Andrej's wish to visit Najdena jama once more,
to Hans stalactite, and, in the afternoon, to celebrate Metod's 76th birthday. Both missions were a
complete success.

53813. Metod, Andrej and Vladimir on a short via ferrata that leads from the 4-meter entrance pit to the main via ferrata of the cave, named after Primož Krivic (1950-1990). Metod was by Andrej's side all the time, and Vladimir also protected him with a rope in difficult sections.
53814. Krivic's ferrata is mostly horizontal, with a few descents: Vladimir, Andrej and Metod.
53815. The climbing harness has two short cords (umbilical cords) with a carabiner at the end and at least one must always connect the climber to the ferrata wire.
53816. Metod directs Andrej to the next foothold.
53817. The ferrata is not very long - Vladimir is at the beginning, and Metod and Andrej have already descended from the end.
53818. On the flowstone-covered slope of the Šerko tunnel: Andrej, Metod and Vladimir
53819. Andrej and Metod in the central drop of Ičo's tunnel
53820. The passage near the place where the Ičo tunnel branches off from the cave highway, the Piparji tunnel, is also quite demanding in places.
53821. The last descent - Andrej is almost on the floor.
53822. Traverse from Dvorana nad Lijakom to Stopnišče (the Staircase). Vladimir's powerful light illuminated the entire large space. The party was quite late already, and so Andrej, Metod and Vladimir proceeded to Hans stalactite, while the author stayed behind to make preparations for the group photo.

53823. From left to right: the author, Vladimir, Andrej and Metod
53824. Andrej, 84, came to Hans stalactite and back. Helmet and headlamp, a Scurion, was lent by Matic, son of Metod.
53825. Seven small translucent stalagmites on a flowstone heap along the path, north of the Magic Chamber
53826. View from the north to the lake between the Staircase and the Hans stalactite
53827. The grass on the trail to Najdena jama has grown up to the shoulders.
