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. The site, located in the Kras (Karst) region in western Slovenia, is one of the most famous in the world for the study of karstic phenomena such as caves, sink holes, natural bridges, gorges, potholes, collapse valleys (doline), abysses, underground canyon, passages covered with flowstone deposits, and underground springs. Evidence exists that the of cave has been inhabited since the Mesolithic era.

UNESCO placed the site on its World Heritage List in 1986, currently the only such site in Slovenia, although others are on the tentative list.
