Demanovska Cave
of Liberty
(4
km away)
The Demanovska Cave of Liberty is situated in
the Demanovska Valley and is the most beautiful cave of the large system
of caves, in the north of the Low Tatras. It was created in blue-grey
Triassic calcites and has six floors. River Demanovka
flows through its lowest floor. The cave is unique with quantity and
variety of stalactite formations of all types.
Apart from white stalactites, we can find here yellow, pink, red and even
purple stalactites (because of iron compounds).
All stalactite and stalagmite formations are still growing, with high
gloss, what is very rare in other caves. The cave was
discovered by A. Kral and A. Misura in 1921 and was opened for the public
in the same year, after pathways and electric
lights were built up. Current entrance was digged out in 1930 at the
altitude of 870 m (50 m above the bottom of the valley).
Together with the neighbouring cave Pusta jaskyna has the cave the total
length of 8,900 m.

Demanovska Ice
Cave (6 km away)
The Demanovska Ice Cave is situated in the
entrance part of the Demanovska valley and includes parts of underground
system
of caves. It was created in blue-grey Triassic calcites and has four
floors. The little underground river Demanovka was a
significant factor in its creation, what is proven by oval formations of
cave tunnels with the rests of granite grits. The entrance
opening lies at the altitude of 740 m (90 m above the current flow of the
river Demanovka). The upper floors have effloresced
stalactite's and stalagmite's decoration, without ice, just the lowest one
in the front part is glaciated. The total length of the
cave is 1.7 km and just 540 m were opened for the public. The Demanovska
Ice Cave is one of the first known caves in the
world. It is mentioned in the document of the Estergom's Chapter from
December 5, 1299. The cave was explored for the first
time in 1719 by Juraj Buchholtz jr., who made also its first lengthwise
cross-section with marking of its all glaciated stalactite
and stalagmite parts. The cave was open to the public in 1880s. After
wooden stairs, pavements and electric lights were
established, it was once more opened to the public in 1952.
