Križna jama
by Peter Huber
The Križna jama Cave on the east side of the periodic Cerknica Lake is primarily famous as a rich site of bones of the extinct cave bear, ursus speleus. The eight kilometer long cave is full of drip-stone decorations and also boasts 50 underground lakes separated by sinter barriers through which crystal clear water flows.
