| Steps cut in the karst by old-time explorers |
 |
| A more distant look back to the bridge |
 |
| Leaves and debris from the February flood (and plenty much higher up, too) |
 |
| Another view of the canyon and river |
 |
| Last view of one of the wonders of the world |
 |
| Another swing bridge, high up on an opposite canyon wall |
 |
| Forgot the name for these calcium pans, each the size of a hot tub or larger; even after perusing a glossary of cave and karst terms (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/ doi/pdf/10.1002/9781444313680.gloss) |
 |
| Light at the end... |
 |
| Exit: one of the two natural entrances to the cave (the other is the river as it drops underground |
 |
| In the distance is the river Reka, just before it plunges underground to make Skocjan Cave and work its way to the Adriatic |
 |
| Closer up |
 |
| Working our way up the gorge to the funicular |
 |
| And to the outside, where spring is still going full blast |
