The Pavlak Cave

The Pavlak Cave is an unusual karst cave in the magmatic Pohorje world, in which the prehistoric objects were also found.

How mysteriously it sounds, to enter a cave that only a few people know about? The Pavlak Cave gives us a strange feeling that we have found ourselves in the Karst amidst Pohorje, although only a few minutes away from the well-known Zreče. In addition, it was in this very cave that the prehistoric ceramics from the Iron Age was found and that the Jamnik Castle, which inexplicably disappeared, once stood here.
