Pivka Jama, Cave system with underground river in Postojna, Slovenia
The entrance of Pivka Cave leads visitors down 317 steps to reach a depth of 65 meters, where the underground river Pivka flows through limestone passages.
Initial exploration of Pivka Cave began in 1850 by Adolf Schmidl, followed by significant discoveries from Édouard Alfred Martel in 1893.
The cave network maintains connections to local geological research centers, providing scientists with opportunities to study subterranean formations and water systems.
Tours of Pivka Cave operate during July and August, with tickets priced at 90 euros for adults and 60 euros for children between 6 and 15 years.
The cave system connects to Črna Jama through an artificial tunnel constructed by Italian military forces after World War I.
