Driny, Limestone cave entrance in Small Carpathians, Slovakia.
The entrance to Driny Cave leads into a network of passages extending 636 meters through limestone formations at 399 meters above sea level.
The cave remained unexplored until 1929 when Jan Banic and Jan Vajszabel documented its interior, leading to public access establishment in 1934.
The cave system contains narrow passages named after regional figures, including the Collaborators' Passage and Beňovský's Passage.
Access requires a 20-minute uphill walk from the parking area, with guided tours operating from April through October except on Mondays.
The cave interior maintains constant conditions of 8 degrees Celsius with 97 percent humidity, supporting formations that resemble elephant ears.
