After visiting the Škocjan Caves we continued our walking along the Big Collapse Doline and visited smaller caves. Here is the first one - the Tomnic Cave :)
Tomnic Cave is the one of the most extensive archeological cave sites in the easten Alps. Several cultural layers have been discovered in the cave sediments, dating back to the early Middle Ages, Late Antiquity, the Iron Age, the Bronze Age and the Eneolithic (or Copper Age). Tomnic Cave is also the largest prehistoric cave burial site in the Karst region. Five Iron Age graves were discovered in the cave entrance and the skeletons of at least ten Eneolitic bodies in a small recess in the eastern passage.

Po wyjściu z Jaskiń Szkocjańskich kontynuowaliśmy nasz spacer szlakiem wzdłuż Wielkiego Zapadliska, odwiedzając po drodze mniejsze jaskinie. Tu pierwsza z nich - jaskinia Tomnic :)
Jaskinia Tomnic jest jedną z najważniejszych jaskiń archeologicznych w Alpach Wschodnich. W osadach jaskini odkryto kilka warstw kulturowych, datowanych na wczesne średniowiecze, późną starożytność, epokę żelaza, epokę brązu i epokę miedzi. Jaskinia Tomnic jest również największym prehistorycznym miejscem pochówku jaskiniowego w regionie krasowym. W wejściu do jaskini odkryto pięć grobów z epoki żelaza, zaś w małej wnęce we wschodnim przejściu szkielety co najmniej dziesięciu ciał z epoki miedzi.

Calypso Cave is located in a cliff just off Xaghra; overlooking Gozo’s most sought-after sandy beach, Ramla Bay.
This site is thought to be the same cave Homer mentioned in `The Odyssey' where Calypso, the beautiful nymph, kept Odysseus as a `prisoner of love' for seven years.
Calypso had promised him immortality if he stayed with her, but he escaped when he could, and returned to his wife Penelope.
