54209. Mt. Slivnica above the lake meadow
54210. The sun over Javorniki ridge and the southern part of the now dry lake
54211. Entrance to the cave from the outside ...
54212. ... and from the inside
54225. The passage straight forward from the entrance are clogged by debris, an open passage into the cave is on the right side.
54213. Relatively narrow tunnel soon opens into the first hall - view back ...
54214. ... and onwards.
54216. View from a higher side tunnel down the Main Tunnel...
54217. ... and from the side niche (top right in the previous photo) into the Main Tunnel
54218. Moldy rootlets in the side tunnel with thick calcite draperies, which the author was unable to photograph well due to the limited space. The pattern resembles a binary tree.
54220. View from a height at the entrance to the hall towards its end. As the author saw the vault of the hall in all its whiteness, he mistakenly assumed that he was already in the White Hall. Jože clarified his mistake a little over a week later, before the next visit to the cave.
54222. Collapse at the bottom of the hall with two large rocks
54223. A stalagmite with two hollows at the top, reminds one of an owl head. It grew on a flowstone ground covered with a thin layer of loam and silt.
54224. Pêle-mêle at the entrance to the hall
54226. Mt. Slivnica after the rain, framed by the cave entrance
54228. View from the lake side towards Javorniki ridge, rising from the mist after the rain.
54227. View to the east with mist over the edge of the lake, the church in Žerovnica peeks out from the lowest belt of trees.
