Brestovská Cave

Brestovská Cave in Zuberec is the first cave in Orava and the Western Tatras that the Slovak Caves Administration opened to the public. It is part of an extensive underground hydrological system - a stream with several siphons still flows at its bottom. The entrance is located just a few steps from the Orava Village Museum.
