Vjetrenica Cave

The most famous cave in Bosnia and Herzegovina is protected natural monument and tourist destination in the southeastern part of Herzegovina. Speleological peculiarities of this unique cave are specific beauty, wide corridors and halls, many clusters of icicles, and a rich hydrographic world with many lakes, several waterfalls, more permanent streams and dozens of smaller periodic streams which flow different directions. Vjetrenica is equally interesting in ecological, geomorphological and economic terms, but at the same time it is also one of the most powerful sources of identity in wider area of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a protected natural monument since 1950, and in 1981 was declared a geomorphological nature reserve.
