55659. View from the Cvinger viewpoint to the already quite dried up lake

55667. View from the entrance to Velika Karlovica towards the lake side, Radojka and Sinja

55660. All three on the dam in the entrance to the cave - telephoto view, the dam is at least three meters below the ceiling.

55661. Franci and Radojka in the entrance hall, on the bank of the lake below the dam

55662. In Bukovčev rov (Bukovec Tunnel), under the Kalvarija hall (top right) - Sinja, Franci and Radojka

55663. The ground was quite uneven, here and there we had to walk over the rocks. Franci called a meeting of the House Council with a single item on the agenda: Do we go back (out) immediately or straight away? From left to right: Primož, Franci, Sinja and Radojka.

55665. Franci and Radojka returned to the surface, while Sinja and Primož climbed to Kalvarija. In the photo: Sinja under the large flowstone heap at the edge of the hall, where it descends into the Bukovčev rov.

55664. View of the stalactite adorned interior of the hall from the access step, with Sinja on the edge of the flowstone heap

55666. Sinja on the way back - by the lake in the Bukovčev rov

55668. We set off on a more gentle route back, past Mala Karlovica cave. A photo in the forest, just below the Velika Skednenca cave.

55670. We walked from the forest to the cave entrance at the edge of the meadow. In places the grass was so high that only Franci could be seen above it. View to the south, towards Javorniki ridge.

55671. Sinja and Radojka in the entrance to Mala Karlovica ...

55672. ... and on the forest track that ascends from the corner of Jamski zaliv (Cave Bay) to the road around the lake.

55673. The road is nice and wide, and we were also lucky not to be dusted by an occasional truck loaded with wood.
