Vrtiglavica

Vrtiglavica, also Vrtoglavica (both from Slovene vrtoglavica 'vertigo'), is a karst shaft on the Kanin Plateau, part of the Kanin Mountains, Western Julian Alps, on the Slovene side of the border between Slovenia and Italy.

It has the deepest known pitch in the world, at 603 metres (1,978 ft).

It contains one of the tallest cave waterfalls in the world; the estimated height of the falls is 400–440 m (1,310–1,440 ft).

It was discovered in the summer of 1996 by Italian speleologists and the bottom was reached on October 12, 1996, by a joint Slovene–Italian expedition.
