Skocjanske Jame (Slovenia) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Vacation travel video about destination Skocjanske Jame in Slovenia.
In the heart of the Slovenian karst landscape of Kras, below the village of Škocjan, is one of the most important cave systems in the world, the Škocjan Caves, a world of caves into which the Reka River has dug deep into the limestone.Here, Nature has created a mysterious underground world, a labyrinth of caves, corridors and halls decorated with stalactites of various shapes and sizes. In an entire human lifetime these sculptures grow only a few millimetres, a comforting timelessness of primeval silence and beauty. In 1815, exploration of the cave system began and now six kilometres of paths, steps and bridges have been painstakingly created. The river created the caves. Emerging from the underworld, it crosses two collapsed dolines and disappears underground once more. The underground cave world of Škocjan is a unique testimony of the Earth’s history and in 1986 was designated as a World Heritage Site.

Slovenia and the Skocjan Caves
Ljubljana in Slovenia was my stop today. I took a long, but scenic trip to Divaca, where the Skocjan Caves were waiting, and they were spectacular.

slovenia skocjan caves
One of the largest known underground canyons in the world.
Examples of natural beauty with great aesthetic value.
Due to particular microclimatic conditions, a special ecosystem has developed.
The area has great cultural and historical significance as it has been inhabited since the prehistoric times.
A typical example of contact karst.
Škocjan Caves is, above all, a natural phenomenon of global significance, ranking side by side with the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef, the Galapagos Islands, Mount Everest, and others. Ranking among the most important caves in the world, Škocjan Caves represents the most significant underground phenomena in both the Karst region and Slovenia. Škocjan Caves was also entered on the List of Ramsar wetlands of international importance on 18 May 1999. Together with the underground stream of the Reka River, they represent one of the longest karst underground wetlands in Europe.
Explored length of caves is 6,200 m, caves have formed in 300 m thick layer of Cretaceous and Paleocene limestone.[3]
The Reka River disappears underground at Big Collapse Doline (Slovene: Velika Dolina) into Škocjan Caves and then flows underground for 34 km surfacing near Monfalcone where it contributes approximately one third of the flow of the Timavo River, which flows 2 kilometers from the Timavo Springs to the Adriatic Sea.[4] The view of the big river in the rainy season, as it disappears underground at the bottom of Big Collapse Doline, 160 m below the surface, is both majestic and frightening.
The exceptional volume of the underground canyon is what distinguishes Škocjan Caves from other caves and places it among the most famous underground features in the world. The river flowing through the underground canyon turns northwest before the Cerkvenik Bridge and continues its course along Hanke's Channel (Slovene: Hankejev kanal). This underground channel is approximately 3.5 km long, 10 to 60 m wide and over 140 m high. At some points, it expands into huge underground chambers. The largest of these is Martel's Chamber with a volume of 2.2 million cubic m and it is considered the largest discovered underground chamber in Europe and one of the largest in the world. It is interesting to note that an underground canyon of such dimensions ends with a relatively small siphon: one that cannot deal with the enormous volume of water that pours into the cave after heavy rainfall, causing major flooding, during which water levels can rise by more than one hundred metres
