Krka Cave, Cave and archaeological site in Ivancna Gorica, Slovenia
The horizontal karst cave extends 210 meters in length and 30 meters in width, featuring a central canal that activates during heavy rainfall periods.
Archaeological findings from 1956 revealed Neolithic Lengyel ceramics in the cave, while during the Ottoman invasions of the 15th century, local inhabitants used it as shelter.
Since its registration in the Slovenian cave cadastre in 1927, the cave maintains its status as an official element of Slovenian immobile cultural heritage.
The main entrance includes stone stairs leading from the Krka River source lake, with mandatory guided tours required for all visitors to access the cave.
The cave houses over 30 animal species, including the endemic crustacean Typhlocypris cavicola, found exclusively within this cave system.
