Slovakia (Gombasek Cave) - Steve
Cave Gombasek (10 km from Rožňava) is located in the middle of the Slovak Karst National Park. It was discovered in 1951. Out of a total length of 1,525 m, 285 m are accessible to the public. The cave corridors were created by the erosive activity of the Black stream underground river. Due to its beautiful decoration, it is also called a fairy-tale cave. Its decoration consists of variously formed sinters, colored with a rich range of colors from white through yellow to ocher. The cave is known mainly for the occurrence of thin tubular stalactite formations (2-3 mm thick and up to 3 m long). It has extremely favorable microclimatic conditions. The cave Gombasek is included in the world natural heritage with the caves of the Slovak and Aggtelek karst. Steve
