The Dem\u00e4novsk\u00e1 Ice Cave presents the northern part of world known Dem\u00e4novsk\u00e9 Caves. It stands out by occurrence of permanent ice fill, bizarre and mighty shapes of underground spaces, rare cave fauna as well as rich history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The show path is 650 m long with vertical span of 48 m. The entrance and exit are at the same elevation, only 40 m away one from the other. The stay in cave lasts about 45 min. The temperature during summer months fluctuates between +0,4\u00b0C and +3\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The show path goes through mighty river passages interconnected by steep sections. The first part of the tour leads through cave spaces with flowstone decoration and the second part is in the iced spaces of the cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The combination of flowstone and ice decoration offers a very interesting tour for visitors, where they can learn on forming cave spaces, cave decoration and conditions for glaciation and also on the influence of ice on original calcite fill. The cave spaces consist of oval, river modelled passages and domes reshaped by collapses and frost weathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cave is located on the right side of the Dem\u00e4novsk\u00e1 Valley and the northern side of the Low Tatras Mts., in the national nature reserve Dem\u00e4novsk\u00e1 Valley and in the territory of the Low Tatras National Park. The entrance is in the cliff Ba\u0161ta at elevation of 840 m, about 90 m above the valley bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n
