Vranja Cave

2 May 2021 Caves

Vranja Cave has an intermittent stream. It was discovered in 1958 and is open for unrestricted entry. It lies on the northern edge of Planina Polje.

If we continue through Vranja Cave along the left-hand passage, a ladder takes us up into a new chamber—Mrzla Cave—with an exit onto Planina Polje above Putikove Štirne.

In Vranja Cave we found paintings by modern cave people. From this discovery, we conclude that this primitive human species has not yet died out :)
