LJUBLJANA, Slovenia—Five people are trapped in a cave in southwestern Slovenia, unable to leave because of high water levels caused by heavy rainfall, authorities said Sunday.

The group—a Slovenian family group of three adults and two guides—have been stuck in the Krizna Jama cave since Saturday when water levels rose inside, blocking the way out.
