This year marks the 120th anniversary of the first descent into the Dimnice Cave. Ivan Andrej Perko was the first person to descend into the "The Devil's smokehouse" in 1904, and ten years later the Slovenian Mountaineering Association from Trieste arranged it for tourist visits. Together with the surrounding area, it is an open-air museum where visitors can, among other things, learn about the contact between the karst and the flysch and listen to the story of the "The Devil's smokehouse", as it was called by the locals when they observed the mist coming out of the abyss.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, a free guided tour of the Dimnice Cave will be offered to visitors on Sunday, 1 September 2024 at 15.30, limited to 40 people. Pre-registration via the online form is required (first-come, first-served basis).
The organisers of the event are ORA Krasa in Brkinov d.o.o., the Municipality of Hrpelje-Kozina, The Dimnice Caving Society (Jamarsko društvo Dimnice).
