Vjetrenica Cave, located in the municipality of Ravno in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is one of the most significant and renowned caves in the region. Known for its extensive network of passages, remarkable speleothems, and unique biodiversity, it stretches over 7 kilometers in length. The cave features an array of underground lakes, streams, and waterfalls, and is home to several endemic species, including the cave-dwelling olm. Vjetrenica, which means "wind cave," earned its name due to the strong gusts of wind that can be felt at its entrance. This natural wonder is not only a site of geological interest but also holds archaeological significance with evidence of human habitation dating back to prehistoric times.
