Dobšinská ľadová jaskyňa
Slovakia
You reach Dobšinská ľadová jaskyňa on the northern slope of Duča, a limestone hill in the Stratená Highlands, not far from the old mining town of Dobšiná inside Slovak Paradise National Park. The entrance sits at 970 metres above sea level, roughly 130 metres above the River Hnilec, and people knew it long before anyone explored it. They called it the Studená diera, the Cold Hole, which is still the most honest description. The source calls this the largest ice-filled cave in Slovakia, and in the world outside the caves of the Alps. That qualifier matters, so keep it in mind rather than taking it for an outright world record.
