Surveying the Žabja cave
We have found several caves on plateau Ravnik in past few years but left surveying for later. It was about time we took it up and besides some of us have yet to learn surveying caves. The first on our list was Žabja cave. It's a small and still active cave with facets on walls and no drip-stones. The water level rises high enough to leave branches and plastic bags hanging from the ceiling.
International expedition Kačna cave
Third international caving expedition took place in Kačna Cave this year. The cave has good potential for the longest cave in Slovenia. Explorers were mostly Czech cavers that arrived in town Divača on 30th July. This years expedition was rather successful as they made a major break through. They dived through a 400m long siphon II at the end of "Rov za zrcalom" (shaft behind the mirror). After this siphon there is a dry part followed by a 90m siphon III and after that another dry part. They stopped at siphon IV. Members of JD Rakek and DZRJ Luka Čeč joined to help on Saturday 13th August.
Tabor JD Rakek
This weekend members of caving club JD Rakek went to forests of Snežnik to find and explore new caves. They went on their way on friday afternoon while I was going to join them on sathurday morning. With a printed map and a proximate coordinates on GPS I somehow found them after an hour and a half.
Through Bojanova cave to Predjama
Two yeas have passed since discovery of connection between Bojanova cave and Predjama cave system. It's time again to honor the anniversary with a picnic and a cave trip.
Visit of Netherland cavers
We are happy to report that administrating bilingual page was not in vain. Some time ago a group of Netherland cavers contacted us. Every spring they go caving to different countries. This year they picked Slovenia and stayed in Laze near Planina and visited caves in the area. We took them to the cave under the Predjama castle.
Dive in Habečkovo abyss
On Saturday 5th of march Marjan and I helped a diving team in Habečkovo brezno. The star of the dive was Simon Burja the rest of us were more or less porters. This was third of four dives. The length of siphon is now 400 with a total depth of 138m.
Cleaning of "Jama pod Krasom"
As a part of European project Carst Underground Protection members of DZRJ Luka Čeč have cleaned cave "Jama pod Krasom". The project includes six caves. Majekavc, Golobnica, Pokčeva jama, Marnošnova jama and Jama pod Krasom are in the water zone of Rižana and were cleaned to preserve clean water reserves. Šimenkovo brezno on the other hand was cleaned to restore the original state and renew cave life. Participants of the cleaning of Jama pod Krasom were Janko, David, Urška, Rajko, Ivo Matjaž and also the leader of cleaning project Mitja Prelovšek.
Miina jama
V nedeljo 6.2.2011 smo obiskali jamo za katero smo mislili, da je že registrirana. Že na začetku smo podvomili, da gre za registrirano jamo, saj bi morala biti locirana drugje. Ko smo se spustili se je izkazalo, da ne gre za registrirano jamo z zgrešeno pozicijo pač pa da smo našli novo jamo. Krstili smo jo "Miina jama"
