General Information
The main attractions are the Quiet Hall, decorated with stalactites and stalagmites, and the unforgettable Whispering Cave – an underground gorge 300 meters long, 60 meters wide and 100 meters high, formed by the emerald green River River, whose murmuring echoes under the vaults of the cave. A narrow bridge Cerkvenik (45 m high) crosses the river. The Škocjan Caves Park is crossed by the well-marked Škocjan Educational Trail.
