| Situated on the south-western edge of the Silicka Plateau in the Slovak Paradise, in the National Nature Reserve Domicke Karren, in the Protected Landscape Area and Biospherical Reserve of the Slovak Paradise. It was formed in the Middle Triassic limestones by underground streams of Styx and Domica, at three developmental levels.
Overall cave length is 5,080 m. It forms a genetically compact entity with the Baradla Cave in Hungary. Shields and drums, cascade pools, onion-shaped stalactites and pagoda-like stalagmites are typical for its rich sinter filling. Among bats prevails Rhinolophus euryale, forming here the most abundant colony in Slovakia. It is the most important finding-place of the Neolithic "bukovohorska" culture (4,000 years B.C.).
Finding of spear spike from the Early Stone Age - Szeletien - from 35,000 years ago is unique. The Old Domica Cave has been known for a long time. Its continuation into the new spaces was discovered in 1926. It was open to the public in 1932, including an underground boat trip. Currently, the show cave track is 1,315 m, including a 140 m boat trip. | | |
