Belojača Karst Cave

It is located on the border between the municipalities of Poljčane and Makole. It was formed at the end of the Ice Age. With 550 meters of accessible passages, it is one of the longest karst caves in Haloze. In the valley of the Šega stream, near the former mine, there is a 20-meter-high fissure that forms a narrow entrance into the cave. The cave divides into two passages: the left rises steeply upwards and ends after 30 meters, while the right passage is about 50 meters long and ends in a somewhat larger chamber into which two small streams flow. From the high ceiling hang individual stalactites, and a larger group of stalagmites decorates the terminal part of the right branch. Entry into the cave is possible only with caving equipment and preferably with a caving guide.

The cave is inhabited by cave crickets, spiders, moths, small beetles, and bats. It is an important refuge and habitat for endangered bat species, especially the long-fingered bat and the greater horseshoe bat.

In the immediate vicinity, one can also observe other karst phenomena: dolines, swallow holes, sinkholes, and ponors, making this area a true karst world in miniature.
