Skalisty potok Cave (Jaskyňa Skalistý Potok) - Slovakia
National natural monument Skalistý potok Cave (Jaskyňa Skalistý potok) is located on the southern foothill of the Jasovská Plateau near the Háj village. The first underground spaces were unveiled along the flood spring route in 1968. The large spaces along the underground water stream with numerous set of siphons and lakes as well as ascending branch with rapids and waterfalls were gradually discovered and measured by speleodivers led by Z. Hochmuth since 1986. Now the cave reaches the length of 7107 m and vertical distance of 336 m. The cave is not accessible for the public. Entry into the cave is strictly prohibited.
