Vranjača cave, Protected karst cave at Mosor mountain slopes near Kotlenice, Croatia.

The cave system extends 360 meters in length with two main halls containing numerous limestone formations in multiple shapes and colors.

Local landowner Stipe Punda discovered the decorated second hall in 1903, leading to scientific explorations that revealed Neolithic artifacts and extinct animal remains.

Scientists Umberto Girometta and Ramiro Bujas conducted research between 1911 and 1914, discovering a new species of eyeless spider named Stalita Giromettai.

The cave maintains 15 degrees Celsius temperature throughout the year and offers guided tours lasting 60 minutes through 365 meters of walking trails.

Located beneath the cave chambers flows a section of Jadro River, approximately 10 meters below the lowest points of the cave system.
