The path then guides us on to the Dining Room and the Hall of Staghorn stalactites.  <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pivka Cave<\/strong><\/h2><p>Next on our list of top caves in Slovenia is the Pivka Cave, which was formed by the subterranean Pivka River before the river finally disappears and resurfaces in the Planina Cave. <\/p><p>The Pivka Cave entrance is located 5 km from the Postojna Cave. You can visit two top Slovenian caves while in that region. The 65-meter deep entrance of this top Slovenian cave can be reached by walking 317 steps. The path takes visitors along the Pivka River towards the Black Cave, after which they get back to the surface and return through a forest. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36772 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s.jpg 800w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s.jpg 800w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/F000880-pivka_cave_and_black_cave_4018_orig_jpg-photo-s-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pivka Cave<\/figcaption><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Zupanova Jama Cave<\/strong><\/h2><p>In the vicinity of a small town of Grosuplje, around half-way to castle Turjak, lies the underground karst cave \u017dupanova jama cave, which is one of the top caves in Slovenia. <\/p><p>Zupanova Jama cave was formed trough millennia of running underground water.
