Hrustovačka pećina, Prehistoric cave in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Description
Hrustovačka pećina is a limestone cave in the karst landscape that extends primarily in a horizontal direction into the hillside. The passage leads to a small underground lake where the main tunnel ends.
History
The cave was inhabited during the Copper Age, as early 20th-century excavations revealed. Archaeological digs uncovered large hearths and ceramic items that demonstrated human occupation from this prehistoric period.
Culture
The cave served as a dwelling place for prehistoric communities who left behind traces of their daily activities. Visitors can observe how this space functioned as a living area where people once gathered and worked.
Practical
The entrance is accessible without fees or restrictions, but visitors should bring a flashlight and wear sturdy shoes for safety. Inside conditions can be slippery and dark, making proper gear essential for a comfortable visit.
