Domica Cave

Domica Cave (Jaskyňa Domica) is a karst cave in southern Slovakia, on the southwestern edge of the Silica Plateau (Silická planina), about 10 kilometres southeast of Plešivec in Rožňava District, just south of Dlhá Ves. It is the largest cave in Slovak Karst National Park, about 5,140 metres long, and has been partly open to visitors since 1932. Together with Baradla Cave it forms most of a cross-border cave system. Both belong to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst.

The underground river Styx shaped the passages. Ján Majko discovered the cave on 3 October 1926. Finds show that people used it as early as the Palaeolithic and Neolithic. Sixteen bat species live here, and the humid cave is protected as an underground wetland.

Visitors can choose a shorter or a longer route. The longer one is just under a kilometre and, according to Lonely Planet, includes a boat ride. It depends on the water level and has become rare, so a boat is not guaranteed. Car parks are available, and the Hungarian border is about 2 kilometres away. Check tours beforehand.
