During the last January 2006 expedition the Big Ponor Cave was connected with the Cave of Tří Naháčů (Cave of Three Naked Man). The resulting world’s longest salt cave was named 3N Cave and altogether with newly mapped parts reaches the total length of 6,580 m. It is some 900 m longer than Malham Cave (5,685 m, Mt. Sedom, Israel) now being the second.
