Caving in the Kanin mountain

Explore the mysterious underground world around Bovec.

Srnica cave lies at the foot of the Kanin mountain range. It is a system of  underground caves where mighty stalagmites, stalactites and pillars will welcome you on almost every step.

Srnica cave is distinguished by heart-shaped fossils. In long-lasting or heavy rains, the cave fills up with water and turns into a temporary water source. During heavy rainfall a waterfall is formed at the upper entrance to the cave. There is a 63 m difference in altitude between the entrances to the cave. At the exit of the cave we have to rappel down the wall for about 20 m.
