The Škocjan Caves represent a unique natural phenomenon
(ID 35385)
The Škocjan Caves are located in the Inner Carniola Karst region at an elevation of approximately 420 to 450 m.
Johannisberg in the Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria.



The Škocjan Caves represent a unique natural phenomenon created by the Reka River. The Reka originates at the foot of Snežnik and flows approximately 55 km above ground. When it reaches the Karst landscape of Kras, an area composed of limestone, it deepens its riverbed not only mechanically through erosion but also through corrosion by dissolving the limestone. The visitor path constructed for tourists leads through a part of the caves. Photo taken: July 28, 2016.

The Škocjan Caves in Slovenia are considered the most significant underground feature in the Kras karst landscape and among the most important caves in the world. The Reka River disappears beneath a rock face, above which lies the village of Škocjan, after which the caves (Škocjanske jame) are named. Photo taken: July 28, 2016.

The Škocjan Caves in Slovenia - Archaeological research has proven that the caves and their surroundings have been inhabited since prehistoric times – from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages through Antiquity and the Middle Ages – thus for over 5000 years. Photo taken: July 28, 2016.

The Škocjan Caves in Slovenia - The Reka River flows through the canyon, turning northwest just before the Cerkvenik Bridge and continuing its course in the Hankek Channel. This is a 3.5 km long, 10–60 m wide, and over 140 m deep underground channel that was already explored at the end of the 19th century. Photo taken: July 28, 2016.
