Situated on the Horný vrch Plateau, westerly from the upper part of the Zádielska Gorge. Typical, gravitationally widened crevasse cave reaches the length of 100 m and depth of 25 m. The roof is closed by collapsed boulders. It is formed in the Mesozoic Middle Triassic pale Wetterstein limestones of the Silica Nappe.
The cave has pea flowstone decoration in some places. There are smaller dripstones and layers of ice fill in the western part of the cave. The ice partially melts in summer months, yet it persists all year round.
Invertebrates are represented by multipede Hylebainosoma tatranum, which is Western Carpathian endemic species. Harvestman Ischyropsalis manicata is a representative of troglophilic spiders on cave walls.

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.
