Vjetrenica, Show cave in Zavala, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The cave system extends over 7,014 meters through limestone formations, with a main channel measuring 2.47 kilometers in the Dinaric Alps mountain range.
Archaeological findings within the cave provide evidence of human habitation dating back through multiple historical periods, including its use by medieval hermits.
The cave holds special meaning for the Herzegovina region as a natural landmark, contributing to local folklore and scientific research initiatives.
Guided tours lasting approximately one hour operate from April to October between 9 AM and 5 PM, with entrance fees of 10 BAM for adults.
During summer months, the cave entrance releases strong cold air currents into the surrounding Popovo Polje plain, creating a natural cooling effect.
