Referred to as the "Underground Grand Canyon," the Skocjan Caves in Slovenia are considered some of the largest subterranean chambers in the world. Now for the first time you can enjoy the amazing story - the story of the heroic exploration into one of the three caves in the world on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Skocjan Caves, as one of the vastest cave systems on Earth, are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The caves are known primarily for their fascinating underground canyon, but the story of how they came to be discovered in the 19th century is just as incredible.In this book we trace the bold and imaginative penetration into the unknown depths of the karst underground world by Trieste cavers and local residents, into which they descended in wooden boats with torches in their hands. Their sole companion in this perilous adventure was the unpredictable Reka River.
