Jasov Cave is a total of 2.8 km long, with an air temperature that ranges from 8.8 and 9.4°C.[2] The cave provides habitat for 18 species of bats, and remains of the extinct cave bear and cave hyena have been discovered within the cave.[2]
Jasov Cave was partly opened for the public in 1846, making it the oldest publicly accessible cave in Slovakia. The lower parts of the cave were discovered in 1922 to 1924 and a concrete footpath was built and electrical lightning was installed in 1924. 852 metres (2,795 feet) out of 2,148 metres (7,047 feet) are open to the public.
Many archaeological discoveries of the Paleolithic, Neolith and the Hallstatt periods have been made in the cave.
