Turška jama v Gozdašnici

Description of mountain:
Cave Turška jama v Gozdašnici is 18 meters long, and up to 2 meters deep rocky cave or a rock shelter, or so-called "kevderc" with free entry, which is situated at 835 meters on southwestern slope of the hill Gozdašnica above Karawanks valley Zavrh (Završnica). Some sources mention the cave as "medieval cave castle", and a local name supposed to be cave "Turška jama". It is a nice and well preserved example of a fortified cave shelter, which was most likely made in the 13th century, and in the 15th and 16th century served to hide and defend against the Turks, during their incursions into Koroška. From a smaller viewpoint above the cave a view opens up towards villages: Moste, Breg and Zasip, and on the valley Zavrh below us.
