Bijambare are actually five different caves located in a nature resort around 95m a.s.l.. They are called Upper Cave, Main Cave, Lower Cave, Duricina Cave, and Dimsina Cave. All of them are open to visitors, but Main Cave is the only show cave, equipped with electric light and paths.
The tour follows the main branch of the cave for about 420m through four chambers. The fourth chamber is the biggest one, 60m in diameter and 15-30m in height. Because of its good accoustics it is called Music Hall.
Main Cave is famous for numerous speleothems, especially stalactites, stalagmites, and draperies. The entrance allows a nice view over the surrounding forrests. Part of the cave has ice stalagmites during winter.
