Potok Cave, Archaeological cave site in Solčava Municipality, Slovenia.

Potok Cave is a horizontal karst cave in the Olševa massif, with a portal about 7 m high and 17 m wide facing south. The entrance leads into a passage 115 m long; about 30 m in, large rock blocks divide it into western and eastern sectors, and the cave turns northwest and widens to 40 m. The ceiling reaches 10 m at the back, and much of the floor is coated with soft flowstone known as moonmilk.

The cave was systematically excavated around 100 years ago and revealed traces of people and animals from the Stone Age. These findings helped scientists understand how life existed in this region many thousands of years ago.

The name comes from the Potočnik farm of Alojz "Rogar" Vršnik in Sveti Duh, today Podolševa. The finds are kept in the Regional Museum of Celje, while a permanent exhibition on the cave is set up at the Firšt guesthouse and museum in the Logar Valley, not at the Rinka Centre.

The cave is reached via marked hiking trails on Mount Olševa, which can be steep and require sturdy footwear. The paths are generally easiest to walk during spring through fall.

Thousands of fossil bear bones were excavated here, making the cave one of the richest sites for these now-extinct animals. Visitors can imagine how bears and people shared the same space across generations.
