Jasovská Cave, Cave system in Slovak Karst National Park, Slovakia

The Jasovská Cave contains multiple levels of corridors extending 2,811 meters in length, with colorful stalactites and limestone formations throughout its chambers.

Monks from the Premonstratensian Order discovered the cave in 1846, though inscriptions from 1452 indicate earlier human presence during military conflicts.

The cave holds archaeological evidence of human habitation dating to the Neolithic period, with artifacts and ancient remains preserved within its chambers.

Visitors can explore 720 meters of the cave system through guided tours lasting 45 minutes, navigating 353 steps in temperatures between 8.8 and 9.4 degrees Celsius.

The cave serves as a winter refuge for 19 species of bats and contains geological formations including pagoda-like stalagmites and stone waterfalls.
