Jeskyně planiny Horný vrch, Cave system in Slovenský kras National Park, Slovakia.

The Horný vrch plateau contains 250 documented caves and sinkholes within its limestone terrain, spanning across 55 square kilometers of karst landscape.

Initial speleological exploration of the Horný vrch caves began in 1938 under Josef Janáček, leading to systematic documentation of the underground formations.

The caves of Horný vrch attract speleologists from multiple countries who collaborate to explore and document the extensive underground network.

Access to the cave system starts from the village of Bôrka, where visitors find parking facilities and connection to marked hiking trails.

The Hrhovská spring creates a waterfall directly in Hrhov village and connects to Čertova diera cave, located 5 kilometers northeast at 780 meters elevation.
