Cerovac Caves
Cerovačke špilje
One of the largest cave systems in Croatia, with abundant stalactites and rich finds of cave bear bones and prehistoric artifacts.
The Cerovac Caves are located near the town of Gračac and consist of an upper, middle, and lower cave. More than 7 km of passages have been explored. A guided tour takes about an hour and shows large stalactites, stalagmites, and cave bear skeletons. The caves are cold and slippery, so wear warm clothing and non-slip shoes. They are about 75 km from the Sixteen Lakes, roughly an hour's drive, and are a good stop on the way to Zadar or Krka.
Opening hours
Open April–October; guided tours depart at set times
