The cave is in Martin district, in the cadastre of Dulice and in the Veľká Fatra National Park. The entrance is in the Došná Valley at elevation of 910 m. The cave is formed in the Triassic Gutenstein limestones of the Krížna Nappe – the sequence of the Veľký Bok. It is a fluviokarst–collapse horizontal cave with known length of 470 m.
The cave was discovered through a talus and wedged rocks in steeply ascending passage. The cave spaces are then widened and flowstone fill can be found on side walls in the form of white sphaerolithic shapes and cascade pools with cave pearls. They have interesting nub shape with 2-3 cm diameter. Cave name is derived from these pearls. The larger spaces in cave have stick stalagmites as much as 1,5 m high formed on fallen blocks or debris. Other parts of the cave have the ceiling parts richly filled with mighty sphaerolithic shapes and cudgel stalactites. These cave spaces are of snowwhite colour and some have groups of 5-6 short straw stalactites in the lower parts.
The mechanical fill of passages is prevailingly debris and rocky blocks, somewhere cemented with flowstone.

Dear visitors,
after a longer period we reopen the long tour in the Demänovska Cave of Liberty from the 1st of July 2024. The tour is open once a day at 13:15 from June to August (3 months) and at 13:00 during the rest of the opening days. Number of visitors is limited, the tour is demanding, with many steps and it takes more than one and a half hours. Cave temperature is around 7°C whole year round. We are looking forward to your visit.
Konanie: 24.- 26. september 2024. Bližšie informácie o tomto podujatí nájdete na odkaze.
