Važecká Cave, Cave entrance in District of Liptovský Mikuláš, Slovakia.
This limestone cave formed by tributaries of the Bielý Váh River includes passages through dark gray Gutenstein rock formations that extend beneath the earth.
The cave entrance was discovered by local residents who completed initial navigation through its passages in 1914, leading to tourist development in the 1920s.
Excavations in the cave revealed numerous cave bear bones dating back over 50,000 years, establishing it as a primary paleontological research site in Europe.
The tourist route spans 235 meters with 88 steps, requiring approximately 30 minutes to complete, and operates from February through November with scheduled guided tours.
Located at 784 meters above sea level in the Kozie Chrbty mountain range, this cave contains stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones, and dripstone pools.
