First in Slovenia on UNESCO’s list

Due to the volume of its underground canyon, the Škocjan Caves are listed among the largest caves in the world and they remain the only monument in Slovenia and the Classical Karst region on UNESCO’s list of natural and cultural world heritage sites. Thus, they hold a significant position among the world’s natural monuments.

The Škocjan Caves attach great significance to the world of people with disabilities by striving to adapt their services to all visitors. Unfortunately, due to the geographical location of the entrance and later diversity of the path, the caves themselves are not accessible. Nevertheless, the staff had found an interesting solution to present the cave’s atmosphere with the use of modern technologies – they offer a virtual tour of the cave. Furthermore, the accessible museum presents the history of the Cave’s exploration and puts on display two models: the one with a section of the Cave’s underground canyon, and a model of the central area of the park. The museum also hosts an interactive exhibition of a variety of objects, documentaries and other material.
