Hronava Ice Caves

The Hronava Ice Cave is an cave that on a yearly basis contains significant amount of ice. Located nearby the town of Hronava, on the Hron river north-west of Banská Niska deep inside the Zapno Mountains. The town itself is mostly populated by dwarves and humans and is very unknown to any outsider. Hronava primarily survives on a small mining and agricultural industry, however since the 'discovery' of the cave it has become popular with nobles from all over Ralmulash and Berok.
== Description ==
Lying 30 meters above in the hills, a journey to the Hronva Ice Cave is overall not the most difficult one. Someone who enters will find the cave filled with with pillars of ice reaching from the top to bottom of the caves. Even during the heats of the summer plenty of ice can be found here. The cave consists of a small entrance that doesn't fit more than 2 people at a time, but past the entrance the cave widens up and reveals a rather large network of interconnected tunnels and caverns, all filled to the brim with ice. During the winter the cave is filled up with even more ice, creating large slippery floors. This slippery floor becomes an excellent enclosed ice ring, which in recent years has become a popular place for nobles to go ice skating.
== History ==
The Hronava Ice Cave has been long known of by locals, who used it to collect ice. The cave was however 'discovered' by a larger audience in 1610, when a group of engineers from Banská Niska were exploring the area in search for ore deposit. Sharing the news back home, the local ruler of Banská Niska quickly caught wind and decided to explore the caves during the beginning of autumn. Impressed at the size and the amount of ice in the cave it was decided that they would return during winter and bring their ice skates. From there on word spread around the nobles and each subsequent year more and more nobles and rich would find their way to the cave to get a change to ice skate.
