History


Description

Golubnjaca Pecina (Bear Cave) is part of the Plitvice Lakes National Park. A wooden path along the lakes and stone steps lead up to the cave entrance. Once more a bear cave, with two enormous entrance portals, 24 and 46m meters high, a good location for bears. This cave is visible from far, from the lookout at Entrance 1 as well as from where the Lower Lakes canyon starts. It is located on the right shore of the Korana brook.

The cave is 160m long and equipped with 230 concrete steps and a concrete bridge. Once it also had electric light and a cave guide, and it was closed by a gate. But the electric light and the speleothems were destroyed, and so today the cave is open for self guided tours during a visit to the park. Bring a good torch and wear appropriate clothes.
