The Austro-Hungarian army used to keep its supplies in this cave, mainly potatoes, after which the cave was named (‘krompir’ means potato in Slovenian). In the winter between 1916 and 1917, it was rearranged to accommodate military troops. It was a shelter for 500 soldiers. The cave featured a periscope, a water reservoir, a kitchen, a telephone exchange, an ammunition arsenal, a commander’s room and a toilet. Bunk beds including three or four levels were installed. The space was naturally ventilated. A stone stairway leads to the cave entrance.
