High Waters in Križna jama

High Waters in Križna cave from Ciril Mlinar on Vimeo.

The autumn floods raised the water level in Križna jamato the extent that even the large entrance hall was flooded. In the photo we see speleologist Alojz Troha rowing in Križna jama. According to past recordings these were the centennial waters that we are not likely to see again in our lifetime. A big water dome appeared at the spring of Štebrščica at the edge of Cerkniško polje where the underground water emerges. Both photos were taken on 19 September 2010.
