It is also situated at a higher elevation than most, and about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) as the crow flies from the peak of Rog na Lipi (709 metres (2,326 ft)).
The need to distinguish it from caves with the same name led some sources to append the epithet na Rogu, meaning "on Rog".
[7] The cave is on a steep slope at high elevation relative to the Turopolje plain below, making access difficult and likely explaining the scarcity of human remains.
In the late 1980s, the local mountaineering society PD Lipa published 5 issues of a periodical titled Lipin list, which included information on the cave.
[23][24]: 28 Despite being legally closed to the public, the entrance is along a 4.84 miles (7.79 km)[25] established trail (the Službeni planinarski put 31/32),[26][2] with both a safer[27] and a more dangerous[28] approach to the cave.
The path to the cave is marked by a sign,[29] so it continues to be visited in that context,[30] and is prominently featured on some tourist maps.
The floor is gently inclined from entrance to end, here and there with small stones and irregular concretions of tufa.
[44][45][2] Fossil remains have been unearthed of rodents, bats, birds, and frogs belonging to 9 families, 15 genera, and 14 species.
The vertebrate assemblage in this period was almost identical to that found at Veternica and Mačkova špilja [hr], except for the presence of the Mediterranean species C. livia present thanks to the high elevation and cliff warmth.
