The vilenica cave is managed by the sežana caving society

Since 1955, the Sežana Caving Society has brought together passionate individuals dedicated to exploring and protecting caves and karst landscapes. As a voluntary, independent organization, we welcome everyone with an interest in cave conservation, scientific research, sport caving, cave guiding, and all aspects of speleology. Our members actively collaborate with professional researchers, scientific institutions, and fellow enthusiasts who share our commitment to understanding, exploring, and preserving the unique underground world of caves and karst environments.

Vilenica Cave is the common thread of the society’s activities. From the very beginning, it has been a meeting place for members and the element through which the wider public came to know the operation and organization of our society over time. The main goal since 1962 has been to care for the cave and its surrounding area and to showcase it in all its grandeur.
