It's all about melodrama here - think Jules Verne, Tolkien and Wagner all wrapped in-
to one. Forget crawling in tiny underground spaces: the Murmuring Cave has walls reach-

plunge to where the Reka River still carves its way through the rock. The remains of pre-
historic humans have been found here - what must they have made of this place?
