Čertova pec, Prehistoric cave in Považský Inovec mountains, Slovakia.

The cave formation extends 27 meters into dolomite limestone, creating passages through the mountain at an altitude of 253 meters above sea level.

Archaeological excavations revealed multiple habitation layers from the Paleolithic period, with radiocarbon dating indicating human presence approximately 38,400 years ago.

The cave site includes a roadhouse with a game house displaying regional wildlife specimens and information about local forest ecosystems.

Three marked hiking trails connect to the cave entrance, which remains open year-round and requires no admission fee for visitors.

Stone tools and gastropod remains found in the cave indicate connections between prehistoric inhabitants and populations near the Black Sea region.
