Ice Cave (Ledena pećina)

Ledena pećina

A cave at about 2,160 meters above sea level where ice pillars and ice formations persist year-round. It is a classic day hike from Black Lake.

The Ice Cave hike starts at Black Lake and climbs across the Varsar Plateau. It covers about 14 kilometers round trip and takes 6 to 8 hours, with the final stretch crossing scree slopes. The descent to the cave entrance is steep and slippery, and the temperature inside is near freezing. The ice formations change shape from year to year. The route is clearly marked but involves a large elevation gain, so it is easy to lose your way in fog. Bring plenty of water and warm layers, and watch for afternoon thunderstorms.
