The grass flickered gently above a crack in the limestone and Ludvik Husu instinctively knew he had found what he was searching for : a new cave in Slovenia's dramatic Karst region.
The seasoned cave enthusiast, with more than 50 years' experience, told AFP that "the conditions were perfect... all the signs pointed to something beneath" as he felt the air current push up from below.
