Brestovská jaskyňa, Protected cave system in Tvrdošín District, Slovakia.
The underground corridors of Brestovská jaskyňa extend through limestone formations, containing numerous stalactites and stalagmites formed by mineral-rich water deposits.
The cave's passages were carved by submerged water flows during the middle and younger Quaternary period, leading to its recognition as a national natural monument in 2008.
The cave serves as an educational center where visitors learn about geological processes and the natural heritage of the Western Tatras region.
Guided tours depart from the village of Nižná, providing access to the cave's interior chambers through established pathways with proper lighting and safety measures.
Brestovská jaskyňa maintains a constant interior temperature throughout the year, creating specific conditions for specialized cave fauna and geological formations.
