Vindija Cave, Paleolithic cave in Donja Voća, Croatia.
The limestone cave extends deep into the hillside, containing multiple chambers with sediment layers that document environmental changes through millennia.
Excavations in the 1970s revealed Neanderthal remains dating back 40,000 years, making it a major site for understanding human evolution in Europe.
The cave contains stone tools and artifacts from both Neanderthal and early modern human populations, showing the technological progression of prehistoric societies.
The cave is located 20 kilometers west of Varaždin and requires coordination with local authorities for research or educational visits.
Three Neanderthal specimens from this cave provided genetic material for the first complete sequence of the Neanderthal genome in 2010.
