Caves of Barać, Show cave in Rakovica, Croatia.

The Barać Caves contain numerous chambers with stalactite and stalagmite formations located 120 kilometers south of Zagreb near the village of Nova Kršlja.

Initial excavations of the caves in 1877 led to significant discoveries, including a bronze bracelet found in 1912 and remnants of prehistoric cave bears.

Research teams from the University of Zagreb conduct regular speleological studies within the cave system, contributing to scientific understanding of karst formations.

Guided tours of the caves operate daily during summer months from 9 AM to 7 PM, with a duration of 60 minutes covering 200 meters of accessible passages.

The cave system includes Donja Baračeva špilja, which houses endemic insect species and maintains specific conditions for two resident bat populations.
