Potpece Cave, Cave entrance at the foot of Dreznicka gradina, Serbia.

The entrance of Potpeće Cave rises 50 meters in height and 22 meters in width, creating a horseshoe-shaped portal in the limestone cliff.

Serbian speleologist Jovan Žunić documented the cave in 1893, leading to formal explorations by Jovan Cvijić in 1913 and Professor Radenko Lazaravic from 1957 to 1978.

Archaeological excavations within the cave revealed pottery fragments, deer antlers, and stone tools from inhabitants during the Neolithic period.

The cave welcomes visitors from April through October, offering guided tours that cover 555 meters of illuminated passages and chambers over approximately 60 minutes.

The cave system contains three distinct levels: an upper fossil section, a dry middle portion, and a lower level where the Petnica River flows through active channels.
