Cerovac caves, Cave system in Velebit Nature Park, Croatia

Cerovac caves are an underground system located in a protected nature area, with multiple passages featuring mineral formations like stalactites and stalagmites along with spacious chambers. The complex contains several distinct sections that visitors can explore through guided routes.

The caves came to light in 1913 when construction work in the region unearthed them, and they were subsequently protected due to their scientific importance. The discovery led to their documentation and inclusion in the natural heritage of the area.

The caves show evidence of human activity spanning thousands of years, with artifacts revealing how ancient people used these underground spaces. Visitors can observe these traces today and understand the connection between this place and the people who came before.

Warm clothes are essential for any visit, as underground temperatures stay cool throughout the year regardless of the season. Sturdy footwear helps with traction on paths that can be uneven or damp.

The caves hold an extraordinary collection of prehistoric remains that tell the story of ice age life in the region. These findings make the site particularly valuable for understanding how ancient creatures lived in this underground environment.
