Badanj Cave, Prehistoric cave in Borojevići Stolac, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The limestone cave features a shelter beneath a cliff rising 45 meters above the right bank of the Bregava River.

Archaeological excavations between 1976 and 1979 revealed artifacts and engravings dating back to the Upper Paleolithic period, 14,000 to 18,000 years ago.

The cave contains a carved stone drawing depicting a horse struck by arrows, representing one of the earliest artistic expressions in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Visitors can access the cave through a walking trail equipped with handrails, and a picnic area below offers views of the surrounding landscape.

The natural shelter contains massive layers of sediments with artifacts from the Epigravettian period, dating from 13,000 to 12,000 BCE.
