Cross Cave, Show cave and archaeological site in Cerknica, Slovenia.
The cave system contains 22 interconnected lakes with emerald green waters reaching depths of seven meters along underground passages and chambers.
Archaeological investigations uncovered evidence of human activity from 5000 years ago, when people used the cave system as a temporary shelter.
The cave maintains its original state without concrete paths or permanent lighting, representing Slovenia's traditional approach to natural preservation.
Visitors receive rubber boots and rechargeable flashlights for exploration, with tours ranging from one hour to four hours across multiple lakes.
The underground environment houses 45 different animal species in low-nutrient conditions, making it the fourth most biodiverse cave in the world.
