Often referred to as the “Underground Grand Canyon,” the
Eastern European cave system features one of the largest subterranean
chambers in the world. The largest room in the limestone cave network,
known as “Martel’s Chamber,” is a gaping canyon which was formed by the
underground flow of the Reka river, which still rushes along the bottom
of the chasm. Thanks to the amount of water that flows through the
canyon, the caves also hold a number of eye-catching geological features
such as limestone pools and giant stalagmite formations. The cave’s
unique spaciousness also hosts a number of species of bat, countless
unique bio-organisms, and even a variety of fish that has never seen the
light of day. A bridge has also been built, spanning the chasm so that
visitors can experience the colossal geologic divide.
