Vilenica is one of the oldest caves in this area and at the same time also the oldest tourist cave in Europe. For centuries this cave stirred the imagination of locals, who believed that fairies (Slo: vile) resided in this cave. This is how the cave got its name - Vilenica.
The cave is 1300 m long, of which only 450 are equipped with electric lighting. Because of its extraordinary stalactites it was considered to be the most beautiful, largest and most visited cave in the Karst up to the mid-19th century.
