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.

54313. The Cave under the road is near the bend and intersection of the road above Mala Karlovica. However, the author did not ask Jože how far from the intersection down towards the lake one must go before turning left to the cave. Before long, there is a small clearing with the remains of a decayed spruce on the way. From here, the author checked all possible left turns, but none of them were right.
54311. When he got to the lake, he knew it was too far. After an hour in the rain through the wet and slippery undergrowth, over the fallen trees, fighting the wind, which overturned the umbrella many times, to its bitter end, and as Jože was also not available, the author had to admit defeat. The photo: a view across the lake towards Mt. Slivnica.
54312. Flooded entrance to Mala Karlovica
54314. On the eastern side of the hall, above the passage to the lower part of the cave, there is an increasingly narrow gap between the wall and the collapse. The author squeezed himself into the end of the gap.
54317. "Backstage" view of the rock (far right) that fell from the ceiling a few years ago.
54320. It was raining all day long, water penetrated the cave ceiling and formed a curtain of tiny jets that descended from the stalactite drapery at the edge of the ceiling slab in the middle of the hall.
54322. Looking up the largest chimney in the hall, with flowstone tufts
54325. Flowstone covered rocks on the left side of the passage to the platform with the red ceiling
54327. Stalagmite brothers in an embrace, one a little more whiter, the other a little less
