Sadly, we had to leave the beach, but we headed inland in search of new adventures. Our destination was the Cerovac Caves. The site has both a lower and an upper section, and we decided to tour both.
The lower cave stretched along a 600-meter paved path, though in reality it extends nearly 4 km. This section was filled with stalactites and stalagmites, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The caves were first discovered by accident in 1913 during the construction of the railway system. Outside, the summer air was close to 80°, but the moment we stepped inside, the temperature dropped to a constant 42°—refreshing, but a bit of a shock!
The upper cave followed a 750-meter path, but again, the system itself is much larger, with new entrances still being researched. This section was especially impressive, with enormous cathedral-like halls that seemed to stretch endlessly upward.
What really made both tours memorable, though, was our guide. His passion for caves was contagious. He had been working with them for 13 years, and it showed in every story he told. At the end of the tour, he even suggested taking our photo in two of the most beautiful spots inside the cave—a thoughtful gesture that made the experience feel even more personal.
