1500 meters above sea level, on the slope of Raduha lies one of the most magnificent high-altitude caves in the world, the highest in Slovenia. Its specialty is the interesting coexistence of ice and dripstone, which is a real rarity at such a height. It is between 10 and 12 million years old. The cave was discovered in the seventies of the last century, when eternal snow melted, revealing a cave entrance at the bottom of a 20-meter ice abyss.
The snow cave is about 1300 meters long, more than half of it is arranged for tourists. The beauty, the milk of the cave, the ice sculptures and the dripstone decoration at the end of the cave make a visit by the light of carbide lamps an unforgettable cave experience.
The cave is open from June 1 to September 30 on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, from July 15 to August 31 every day. Guided tours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., every two hours.
The cave is most beautiful in June and early July, until the ice stalactites melt!
To visit the cave, warm clothes (temperature from 0 to 4 °C), hiking shoes and gloves (steep metal staircase in the entrance part of the cave) are advised.
