World's first underground Ramsar site protecting a vast karst cave system

Škocjan Caves Regional Park

Škocjan Caves Regional Park is a remarkable karst protected area in southwestern Slovenia, encompassing one of the world's most significant underground cave systems. The park lies in the Škocjan Karst, a vast limestone plateau situated at elevations between 420 and 450 meters above sea level in the southeastern part of the Karst region that gave its name to the geological phenomenon worldwide. The protected area covers 4.15 square kilometers and centers on the spectacular Škocjan Caves, a river-cut cave system through which the Reka River disappears underground and flows for approximately 35 kilometers before reemerging in Italy as the Timavo River. This exceptional karst landscape features dramatic collapse dolines, deep gorges, and a complex network of caves that have been shaped by water dissolving limestone over millions of years. The park was established following Slovenia's independence and is managed by the Škocjan Caves Park Public Service Agency, representing the nation's commitment to preserving this globally significant natural heritage site.
