“Good options to spend your time exploring the cave and nature around the area.”

“The old town of Drežnik is mentioned in the historic sources back in the 12th century. Its history has been marked by wars and its different rulers. The historic events in the area have mostly been marked by constant wars, which is also the reason that it did not develop as a trading place or a settlement but rather as a defence fortress. After 1830, the Austrian monarch sold the fortress to a private trader, who started demolishing the walls and selling stone as construction material. We believe that this very stone can nowadays be found in the foundations of numerous houses in the surroundings!The defence tower has been renovated and from there the visitors can enjoy in the view over the canyon of the Korana river and the surrounding mountains and learn something on the history of this always dynamic border region.”

“For Baračeve špilje (Baraceve caves) the plural is really appropriate. There are numerous caves which may be visited: Donja Baračeva špilja, Nova Baračeva špilja, Gornja Baračeva špilja, and Otvaranje špilja. The show cave is Gornja Baračeva špilja, which is 520m long, but only 200m are visited on the tour. The visitors are equipped with helmets and electric torches. It seems the local caving club interpreted the term "torch" literally: electric handlamps were installed in bamboo garden toches. At least they are so huge, they cant slip your mind. The river Suvaja, which runs close to the cave, is a true karst river. It disappears in a swallow hole only a few hundred meters downstream, just to reappear in a karst spring another 200m further. ”
