The
Vilenica Cave, which lies near the village of Lokev in the far west of
Slovenia, reputedly has the longest tradition of speleological tourism in
Europe. As early as 1633 Count Petazzi, the local landowner, conferred the
cave upon the local parish which managed it as a resource and opened it up
to visitors. Until the middle of 19th century Vilenica had the reputation
of being the largest most beautiful and most frequented cave in the
central Karst.
