54391. New LED COB headlamp. The lighting angle is increased to 270⁰, and the author placed it on the scene, in the place where he expected the greatest effect. On Monday there was one such lamp, on Thursday there were already two.
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. Jože Stražišar, of the Karlovica Caving Society (Jamarsko društvo Karlovica) contributed to the success of the excursion to the Cave under the road; the names in the cave were in several instances given by the author.

54391. New LED COB headlamp. The lighting angle is increased to 270⁰, and the author placed it on the scene, in the place where he expected the greatest effect. On Monday there was one such lamp, on Thursday there were already two.
54376. View of the entrance to Kevderc from the outside. It is one of the very few caves above the southern part of the Ljubljana Marsh, suitable for visitors of all ages. It is lovely, not really demanding, the entrance slope is gentle and gravelly, just climbing of the collapse inside requires some caution.
54372. View from the hall to the surface
54375. View from the bottom of the hall further up the collapse
54381. View from the Cvinger viewpoint across the lake. The day was gloomy, with low clouds.
54382. View from the entrance hall of the cave up the rough steps towards the entrance (above the head of the person in the photo).
54383. View from about the same standing point further down to the bottom of the hall. The black border of the image was prevented by a very weak LED headlight mounted on the tripod under the phone camera.
54384. Rock, slightly resembling a lion, above the bottom of the hall. The author holds a bluetooth camera trigger in his right hand.
54385. The hall ends with a wall of bonded deposits and two passages in it. The lower one is impassable, the upper one is illuminated by a light in it. This passage requires a little side crawling, but it is short. To reach it would be a bit difficult if it weren't for a two meter long iron ladder, which was provided and propped up by the cavers of the Karlovice Caving Society. It is not heavy and the author has removed it, just for the duration of the photo being taken.
54386. At the end of the passage, behind the person, the Main Hall opens up. The slippery slope is not long, but the rope is very welcome on the way back.
54387. Furrowed corner of the largest rock in the hall.
54390. At the end of the hall there is a tunnel that quickly turns into a clay slide with indicated steps. To get down is a piece of cake, step by step with one's behind, and to get back some climbing along the wall is required. A sharp turn to the right follows, with a steep, not very wide continuation upwards, but it is climbable in both directions. A beautifully decorated high space opens up, but it is not easy to get to. First, there is a more or less vertical two-meter-deep drop, from which a ledge brings you to the left side, where there is a similar step upwards, to the stalactite part of the hall. The only snag is that next to the ledge there is another drop, the blackness in the low middle of the picture, which told the author (though he had a rope) to return - because he was alone.
54389. Beautifully decorated right wall of the hall, lit by two LED floodlights, placed along the left and right walls, as far apart as the author could manage, and one LED flashlight, which illuminated the upper half of the picture.
