In this contribution, the results of a survey of hibernating bats in the caves of Bela krajina (Southeastern Slovenia) conducted between December 2001 and March 2002 are presented. During the survey of 23 caves, four species were observed: Rhinolophus hipposideros, R. ferrumequinum, R. euryale and Myotis emarginatus. The numbers of hibernating horseshoe bats in the caves of lowland Bela krajina were estimated at approximately 40 for R. hipposideros and close to 10 for R. ferrumequinum.
