Velebit caves
The Velebit mountains of Croatia have several deep caves with some of the world's largest subterranean vertical drops.
The "Lukina jama" cave is 1431 m deep (2013), the deepest cave in Croatia, 14th deepest cave in the world and the deepest cave in southeast Europe.〔Radovan Radovinovič, The Croatian Adriatic Tourist Guide, pg. 143, Zagreb (1999), ISBN 953-178-097-8〕 At its foot, there are ponds and streams including one of the largest known colonies of subterranean leeches (''Erpobdella mestrovi''), which has been ascertained to represent a new species, genus and also family.〔 Other species discovered in the system, include the air-breathing land snails ''Zospeum tholussum''. Like Lukina jama, Slovacka jama, Velebita and Meduza are also located at the "Hajdučki i Rožanski kukovi" special reserve, a dedicated part of the Sjeverni Velebit national park.
Other notable caves include the "Slovacka jama" (''Slovak pit''), (1,320 m deep), "Velebita" (1026 m deep with underground free fall vertical drop of 513 metres ) and "Meduza" (679 m deep).
The vertical shaft "Patkov Gušt", named after a deceased Croatian speleologist〔 〕 is 553 meters deep and the second deepest pitch in the world .
