The cave has long been known by two names: Zadlaška jama cave (named after the nearby village of Zadlaz) or Dante's cave (named after the famous Italian poet Danter Alighieri). It is 1,140 m long and 41 m deep. The cave was first explored in 1911 by the Slovenian expat society Società Alpina Friulana. Further explorations were made in 1922 by members of the mountaineering club Planinski klub Krpelj and in 1977 by the cave department of the Tolmin Alpine Club. The cave is home to the endemic beetle species Anophthalmus tolminensis and is also a wintering area for two bat species, Rhinklafus hipposideros and Rhinklafus ferrumequinum.

An unusual natural phenomenon – Bear's head. Once upon a time, the triangular stone decided to move. But on the way to the river, he got stuck between the narrow walls of the canyon. Stuck in time now forms a natural bridge. The green-covered rock strongly resembles a bear's head, hence the name.
