Krásnohorská Cave

Rožňava District, Slovakia · built 2007

Krásnohorská Cave (Slovak: Krásnohorská Jaskyňa) is a karst cave situated at the northern foot of the Silická planina Plain, in the Slovak Karst, 6.5 km southeast of Rožňava, in Slovakia. With unique natural decorations of bizarre shapes and unusual structure composed almost entirely of calcium, it is currently listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the cave containing the largest stalagmite in existence, generally accepted as being about 12 metres (39 ft) in diameter and 32.7 metres (107 ft) in height. It grows significantly in volume every year as the incessant drips solidify. The length of the cave is 1,350 metres (4, 430 ft) to 1,450 metres (4, 760 ft) and it represents the end of the cave system underground stream Buzgó.
