Vrtoglavica Cave, Cave system in Kanin Mountains, Slovenia.
The cave contains a vertical shaft measuring 603 meters in depth, forming part of the extensive karst network in the Western Julian Alps.
Italian speleologists discovered this geological formation in 1996, leading to a joint Slovenian-Italian expedition reaching the bottom in October of that year.
The cave represents a meeting point between Slovenian and Italian geological research communities, fostering international collaboration in speleological exploration.
Located at 1900 meters elevation, the cave requires advanced climbing equipment and professional guidance for any exploration attempts throughout the year.
The cave features one of the tallest underground waterfalls in the world, with water dropping between 400 and 440 meters through the main shaft.
