Cerovac Caves

Cerovac Caves are the largest and most interesting caves in Croatia. They are located four kilometers southwest of Gračac, on the north-eastern slope of Velebit’s Crnopac hill (1403 m), in the southern part of the Velebit Nature Park. They were discovered during the construction of the Lika railway in 1924, and were named after the Cerovac railway station. These caves are one of the largest cave bear sites in Croatia, and fossil human bones and a bronze ax were found. The length of the caves is 3,800 m, and the entire system is 4 kilometers. The upper cave is 1200 m long, and the lower one is 2400 m long. Between them is a much smaller one, Srednja pečina. The first 700 m of the Donje and Gornja špilje are arranged for tourist visits. The average temperature in the caves is 8-11°C. Distance from Sokol Feel good estate – 5 min by car.
