Jaskyňa Domica

Slovakia

Domica sits right at the edge of Slovakia, in the Slovak Karst close to the Hungarian border, and that border runs through the story as much as the stone does. The cave lies in the municipality of Kečovo near Plešivec, on the south-western rim of the Silica Plateau, inside the Domické škrapy nature reserve within the Slovak Karst National Park. It is counted among the most beautiful caves in Slovakia, and the reason is the dripstone. Underground, it forms one system with the Aggtelek cave, known in Hungarian as Baradla, on the other side of the frontier. The combined length is given as anywhere from 21 to 25 kilometres, a range rather than a single figure, so treat any precise number you hear with some caution.
