In the Paklenica region 90 caving subjects have been inspected and these are 53 pits and 37 caves.


The deepest pit is Ponor on Bunjevac 534 m deep, one of the deepest in Croatia.
 Modrić Cave is located near National Park Paklenica next to the village bearing the same name. The cave was discovered in the 1980's and was closed for visitors until 2004. Even today the visit to the cave is not a typical tourist visit since there are no stairs, marked paths or installed electric lights inside.

 

Therefore, it is necessary to wear overalls and a helmet with a carbide lamp to walk freely around the cave. Thus equipped, the guide will take you through the halls, corridors and gaps of the 840 meters long cave filled with cave decorations, stalactites and stalagmites. Constant temperature in the cave is 13 ºC.


Caving visits and the gathering of biological and geological material is not permitted without earlier notification and permission!
