BARAĆ CAVES
The Barać Caves are a fascinating cave system consisting of several parts. Remains of prehistoric animals have been found, including bones of cave bears that lived in this region during the Ice Age. There is also evidence that the caves were inhabited or at least visited by humans during the Paleolithic period. The caves provide an ideal habitat for bats, which are found here in large numbers. The well-preserved stalactites and the mystical atmosphere of the underground passages are particularly impressive. The Barać Caves are an absolute highlight for nature and cave lovers.
