Caves of Slovakia

The mountains, which occupy a significant part of Slovakia, are not only a great place for various sports and health recreation. Many tourists strive to get here to get acquainted with the most striking attraction of this country - caves, the number of which exceeds six thousand.

The queen of Slovak caves is the Dobsinska Ice Cave. It is located in the Slovak Paradise and is one of the largest ice caves in Europe. The ice here is up to 25 meters thick.

The Demänovská cave network near the town of Liptovský Mikuláš is known as the longest cave system in Slovakia. Its central feature is the Cave of Liberty with its famous waterfalls and the largest open space among Slovak caves – the Great Cathedral.

The diversity of the caves of SR is fascinating. A descent into the depths of the Okhtinskaya Cave of the Slovak Rudohorie will give you unforgettable impressions from getting to know the bouquets of aragonite – a mineral that decorates the walls of the dungeon. The Jasovska Cave offers treatment sessions for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. Here you can see a huge colony of bats, as well as take a boat ride on an underground river.
