description Križna Jama Overview
Križna Jama, or Cross Cave, is a karst cave system in southern Slovenia known for its sequence of underground lakes. Water passages, limestone formations, and deposits of cave-bear bones distinguish the site, while many interior sections are reached by small boats rather than ordinary walking paths. Access is managed to protect the cave's sensitive environment, and the site is of interest to visitors, speleologists, geologists, and researchers studying subterranean habitats and Pleistocene fauna.
