Book updates

Police control

in June 2025 some foreign cavers were stopped by Police for a control, after they came out from Hotiske cave. Police told them that they must inform slovenian caving groups about the intention for caving tourism. Until now we intend this as a courtesy and not as an obligation because we are doing tourism and not exploration.

So, to avoid any problem, send an email to the Slovenian Caving Association JZS 

info@jamarska-zveza.si 

and/or any caving group near the cave you intend to visit.

From cave number 1 to 10:

JD Sežana: jdsezana@gmail.com
JO Slovenian PD Trieste: bratos.claudio@gmail.com
From cave number 11 to 26

JD Gregor Žiberna Divača: info@divaska-jama.info

JD Chimneys Koper: kostanjeviska.jama@gmail.com

From cave number 27 to 28

JD Bat Ilirska Bistrica: andrazpolak@gmail.com or jdnetopirib@gmail.com

If nobody replies to your email, don't worry, go inside the caves anyway. You can demonstrate that you contact them TO INFORM about your intentions. If you have the Caving Slovenian Permit you are authorized to go inside Slovenian caves also without a Slovenian caver.
Take always a look for updates to the official page for caving in Slovenia: https://jamarska-zveza.si/wp/for-forigners/
