The Škocjan Caves system comprises some six kilometres of galleries more than 200 metres deep, many waterfalls and one of the largest-known underground chambers.

Evidence exists that the of cave has been inhabited since the Mesolithic era.

UNESCO placed the site on its World Heritage List in 1986.
