'''Gombasek Cave''' or '''Gombasecká jaskyňa''' (in [[Slovak language|Slovak]]) and '''Gombaszögi-barlang''' (in [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]]) is a karst cave in the [[Slovak Karst]], [[Slovakia]]. It is named after the settlement of ''Gombasek'', which belongs to the village of [[Slavec]]. It is located in the [[Slovak Karst National Park]], in the [[Slaná river]] valley, approximately 15&nbsp;km south of [[Rožňava]]. The cave was discovered on 21 November 1951 by volunteer cavers. In 1955, 285 m out of 1 525 m were opened to the public. Currently, the route for visitors is 530 m long and takes about 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
The cave was also used for "speleotherapy" as a [[sanatorium]], focused on airway diseases. Since 1995, the Gombasek Cave is included in the [[UNESCO World Heritage List]] as a part of the [[Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst]] site because of its exemplary [[speleothems]] and its record of karst formation under varying conditions, including periods of glaciation and temperate, and tropical climatic conditions.<ref name = "unesco">{{cite web |url = https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/725/ |title = Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst |website = UNESCO World Heritage Convention |publisher = United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization |access-date = 29 April 2023}}</ref><br />
