51881. Since we didn't want to apply mud to the non-muddy cave floor and other surfaces, we headed north first, along the dry part of the tunnel. After a while we had to turn at the vertical drop, behind which, under an organ-like stalactite curtain, the water begins. It was over knee deep. In the photo - a view down the tunnel towards the drop, the edge of the curtain is visible in the middle of the picture.
51882. The drop and the vivid ceiling above it a little closer.
51885. Twins
51886. Flowstone heap, a little less than two meter high, shaped like chess flower
51887, 51890 and 51888. Three portraits. It turned out that the flash and its trigger were left at home in a hurry, and the lights for drawing with light are too weak for indirect illumination. So it was necessary to make do with what was available.
51892. Invitingly angled stone curtain in the tunnel immediately behind the Keyhole hall, view south
51893. View towards the clay sinkhole in a hall with a nice flat bottom and an even nicer jagged ceiling
51894. The path along the continuation of the Južni rov in the direction from which it got its name, immediately ahead of the entrance from the Brlog collapse doline, winds along an occasionally active tunnel, along the edge of a canyon carved into the sediments. In the photo - an organic matter about ten centimeters long, covered with mold.
51895. View along the riverbed towards the final rock collapse
51896. Eastern side, on the left, is nicely covered with calcite.
51898. Below the wall, a little closer to the entrance, towards the north, this colorful view opens up.
51899. A nearly pure white calcite heap about halfway back, above the creek bed
51900. Unsmoothed stones in the water
51901. The stream along the eastern wall here disappears into the depths, towards the Prunkovec spring. It makes quite a powerful sound from a distance, as if it were an underground river.
51902. Hart's tongue, Phyllitis scolopendrium in front of the cave door. It was raining, but again not much.
