    From kamzavikend.si : Veternica Cave is the most famous natural attraction of Velika Planina. It consists of the Mala and Velika Veternica caves, which were formed during weathering when their ceiling collapsed, resulting in the formation of two sinkholes. Velika Veternica is better visited, and its specialty is patches of snow, which can be found in the cave even in the summer months, which is why shepherds sometimes used it to cool and store food. The sinkhole is about 50 meters deep and a 10 meter long underground cave begins at its bottom. Access is free and there are steps to the bottom of the sinkhole and due to snow and ice proper gear is recommended even in the summer months.
