Unique discovery: an underground Plitvice Lakes
We discovered underground Plitvice Lakes! In the cave, we spent more than 50 hours. We moved 10 kilometers through ceramics a la carte the barriers and moats, slept two nights at the air-water 11 degrees Celsius. We explored a new underground system 1.8 kilometers long with large halls over forty meters high, overcame four meters deep lake, watching the cave ornaments of all shapes and sizes. We have also found the stone balls.
The starting point of the expedition ceramics a la carte was the village of Nova Kršlja. Do Panjkovi ceramics a la carte ravine, ceramics a la carte about ten miles northeast of Plitvice lakes can arrive on foot or by tractor. ceramics a la carte The overmanouvers necessary equipment, tanks, lighting, sleeping bags, food ... The expedition team numbered 35 people, although the end of the underground cave reached only 6 experienced speleologists. 18 people secured the movements and logistics. 11 cared about the camp and all the amenities for relaxation. It was the place where it was necessary to dip for water to penetrate barriers and so on into the unknown. ceramics a la carte Eight experienced cavers studied the fly water hazards and determine further course of action.
All 35 people worked hard to 6 experienced speleologists could not occur until the end of the 13 km long cave, explored earlier. It was very difficult to choose the last place in the famous cave six of us who went on into the unknown.
Do not think the survey takes place not on the road or in a field, ceramics a la carte but in the underground system in which all passages are partially filled with water. In water lurk hidden rocks and boulders waiting for inexperienced explorers and roll the man's ceramics a la carte leg, or otherwise injured. And then, water traps, places where it is necessary risky dive into the unknown in order to get farther into the space behind the rock wall, if there is any at all.
The worst was the first part of the cave, about 100 meters from the main entrance. Everyone had to go through 40 cm deep water. But this is not to go straight, but basically water slide on his knees. To this point then increases the ceiling and walls spread out. Initially, the expedition team dominated enthusiasm, but vzpomínaných one hundred meters deprived ceramics a la carte us of many amenities: we had to resign six large bags, which accounted for 40 to 70 kilograms of equipment, which could not utter a water tunnel.
Remains, therefore, only the most basic needs of a full diving equipment. The most important were the oxygen bottles and breathing tube. The path then slowed water siphon, through which we had to delve ten times and transfer all the equipment. It was very difficult because the bags are either floating or moving. Also the communication with team members on the other side of the siphon is very complex.
We've all tired, but the hardest part is still ahead of us. We provide all the equipment and the corridor that does not allow normal walking, five additional hours to descend so-called well, the bottom of which usually is full of water. We had to swim again. In this section we make a human chain and supply equipment from hand to hand. I do not know how long it lasted. Finally, there's only the last hundred yards to where we planned to camp for rest and sleep.
Resting place is a very low corridor, so we knees and pull all the equipment behind. All members of the expedition are so exhausted that you can barely prepare a bed for sleeping. I think that now what the team needed was a drink of something "sharp". We are not supermen.
Most sleeping bags are completely drenched. The hardest thing to the operation of our small kitchen and landlords. They must prepare and clean up a lot of material, provide a place for trash, for small and large need. All safely pack and prepare to move on the way.
Already in the first few minutes we see at the end of a dark corridor next manhole chimney about 15 meters high. As a professional engineer I'm expeditions designed to solve next step. Suffering and literally breaking his arm takes an hour. If we manage to overcome this obstacle, we'll stand in awe. On the walls, ceiling and every next bend we see incredible underground beauty. The waters of Lake stalagmites, stalactites above hanging curtains. We really discovered a miracle, true underground Plitvice. They are perhaps more beautiful than the Plitvice there.
I think that I will never be able to use words to describe the beauty. It is good that we have a camera with you. I must admit that none of us expected such a large area with many cave decorations, let alone such a large stalactites and lakes that are all, as you progress down the corridor.
The most interesting discovery was a small stone balls, which we called cave pearls. In a large number have occurred on the banks of a lake bottom. Nobody can explain where they come from, and how they arise. Nobody seen anything like it. Similar balls, just different composition, as is found in the vicinity Vršan, so Vršanská balls, others were discovered in South Africa and are located at the bottom of the wilderness in Utah.
After several hours of research, distance measurement and position, we understand
