Ledena pećina

Ledena Pećina is a cave in Sjenica Municipality that extends over 2,500 meters through limestone passages and features multiple chambers with crystalline formations and underground lakes. The passages are narrow and winding, with sparkling deposits covering walls and ceilings that shimmer in lamplight.

The cave formed over thousands of years through water erosion in the limestone along the western slope of the Uvac River canyon. This geological process created the intricate passage network that can be explored today.

The name comes from the ice-like crystal formations that cover the walls and have captured local imagination for generations. Visitors experience the cave as a place of wonder, where the natural artistry of the stone speaks to those who pass through.

Access to the cave requires planning and preparation, as boat travel across underground waters is necessary. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear, flashlights, and a helmet since the passages are tight and wet in places.

The cave contains white limestone pillars reaching about 6 meters high that stand like natural sculptures throughout the passages. Additionally, crystal formations throughout create unusual shapes that reveal surprising details to those who look closely.
