The mighty subterranean rivers that flow through south-western Serbia have carved Potpećka cave, one of the most interesting speleological landmarks of Serbia.
There are many caves in the region of Kučevo in Eastern Serbia, which makes it a true paradise for speleology enthusiasts. In addition to caves of exceptional beauty, such as Dubočka and Ceremošnja, the region also boasts Ravništarka cave, a natural monument protected by law.
Nestling cosily at the foot of Zviške mountains in Eastern Serbia, Dubočka cave takes its name from the colourful village of Dubok. The majestic entrance, 25 metres wide and a full 20 metres high, will encourage your adventurous spirit as you embark on an exploration of what is one of Serbia’s longest caves.
This spacious cave in the valley of the Rašćanska river is named after the famous Serbian military commander Hadži Prodan.
