Risovača Cave, Archaeological cave museum in Aranđelovac, Serbia
Risovača Cave is an archaeological site inside limestone rock that stretches deep underground. The main passageway contains reconstructed models of ice age animals that roamed the region thousands of years ago.
The cave was found in 1950 when workers were extracting stone from a quarry nearby. The excavations that followed brought to light stone tools and bones showing that humans lived here between 35,000 and 50,000 years ago.
The name comes from a plant that grows in the area. Inside, you can see sculptured figures showing how a Neanderthal family lived and settled in this part of Europe thousands of years ago.
The cave entrance is easy to reach and the site welcomes visitors throughout the year. Bring comfortable walking shoes since the ground inside is uneven and the temperature stays cool underground.
The protected area surrounding the site is home to several rare bat species that find shelter in the cave. The zone also shelters a rich variety of plants and insects that are monitored as part of conservation efforts.
