Pokljuška luknja

 

Slovenia. If you are near the wonderful lake, castles, and hills of Bled but are also interested in caves and off the beaten path hiking, check out the Pokljuška soteska or the Pokljuška Gorge. Along the way there's a very nice cave, the Pokljuška luknja. Its several entrances give a striking views inside.

There's three entrances in total, two walkable (lower and upper) and one high up entrance.

I didn't scan the cave and there's no data about the cave in the Internet that I can find, including no length data. But it is probably more than 50 meters altogether. Not sure...

The coordinates are N 46.37657 E 14.03351. Some hiking is involved; the trailhead starts at N 46.37900 E 14.04152. More information can be found from the Slovenia Hiking page and the Bled information page. There's also some information at the Pokljuška soteska wikipedia page and home page.
