About this audio guide
This audio guide to the cave under Babji zob, above Bohinjska Bela near Lake Bled, follows the people who have climbed to the Hag's Tooth to take something from the mountain, from iron prospectors around sixteen hundred to the health-resort guests of the nineteenth century. It touches the witch of the local legend and the cavers who look after the cave today, and their first of May tradition. Best heard at the entrance, looking up at the crag.
