Weaver's Cave, Natural cave in Rakov Škocjan Valley, Slovenia
Weaver's Cave extends 2,885 meters into the earth with two distinct entrances and contains passages that lead to the larger Planina Cave system.
Johann Weikhard von Valvasor published the first documented account of the cave in 1687 in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.
A prominent stalagmite formation within the cave resembles a weaver, giving rise to a folk tale about a craftsman who turned to stone for working on Sunday.
The lower entrance provides the main access point to the cave, while visitors should bring appropriate footwear due to consistently wet and slippery conditions.
The Rak Creek flows through the cave system, creating a natural hydrological connection between Cerknica Polje and Planina Polje.
