Ochtinská Aragonite Cave (
Slovak: Ochtinská aragonitová jaskyňa) is a unique
aragonite cave situated in southern
Slovakia, near
Rožňava. Although only 300 m long, it is famous for its rare
aragonite filling. There are only three aragonite caves discovered in the world so far. In the so-called Milky Way Hall, the main attraction of the cave, white branches and clusters of aragonite shine like stars in the
Milky Way. The cave was discovered in 1954 by chance and opened to the public in 1972. Along with other caves of the
Slovak Karst, it is included in the
UNESCO's list of
World Heritage Sites.
