Lokvarka Cave, Limestone cave in Lokve, Croatia.
The cave system extends across six distinct levels, with four levels accessible to visitors through a network of illuminated pathways and stairs.
Workers discovered the cave during limestone extraction in 1911, leading to initial exploration by geologist Josip Poljak who named it Lipa Cave.
The Department for Nature Protection in Zagreb designated Lokvarka Cave as a protected geomorphological natural monument in 1961, preserving its geological formations.
Visitors can explore 900 meters of the cave system during guided tours that last one hour, with temperatures remaining constant between 7 and 9 degrees Celsius.
The cave reaches a depth of 270 meters and contains three large chambers filled with limestone formations throughout its 1179-meter length.
