Hrustovačka pećina

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.

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.

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.

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.

According to local stories, two farmers during World War I entered the cave and emerged near the city of Jajce. This account suggests the existence of a hidden passage that visitors may have never found.
