Marble Cave (Gadime Cave)
Shpella e Mermertë e Gadimes
A rare marble cave with clear calcite and aragonite crystals and stalactites, one of Kosovo's most famous natural wonders.
The Gadime Marble Cave was discovered by chance by a farmer in 1969. It lies in the village of Gadime, about 25 kilometres south of Pristina. The cave formed within marble and features white aragonite needle-shaped crystal clusters, stalagmites and stalactites. The open section is about 1.2 kilometres long. You must tour it with a guide, which takes around 30–40 minutes. Tickets cost about 3 euros. The cave is wet and cold, so bring a jacket. You can take a bus toward Ferizaj and get off near Lipjan, then continue by taxi, or drive there in about 30 minutes.
Opening hours
Approx. 9:00 am–7:00 pm (shorter hours in winter)
