Lazar's Cave, Show cave near Zlot village, Serbia
The cave system extends for 16,041 meters through limestone formations, featuring numerous chambers decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone deposits.
Mining engineer Felix Hoffman conducted the first exploration of the cave system in 1882, leading to its eventual opening for public visits in 1953.
The cave bears the name of Prince Lazar, a notable Serbian ruler who met his end during the Battle of Kosovo in 1389.
Visitors can take guided tours through 800 meters of illuminated pathways from May to October, with temperatures inside ranging from 9 to 12 degrees Celsius.
The cave provides shelter to more than 10,000 bats representing 17 different species, making it a significant habitat for these nocturnal mammals.
