Visit Biserujka Cave
The existence of this cave has been known, at Rudin or above the Slivanjska bay, for over a hundred years when its interior (with its former entrance being in the shape of a grotto!) was hidden and it has aroused interest for its unrevealed secrets and the beauty of its calcite decorations. From the time that the story about a smuggler's hidden treasure was created, to the first entrances of interested visitors, its paths have been readjusted and people can now move more freely. With cave illumination being considerably increased, so too the interest for the existing treasure of the subterranean gallery of numerous stalactites, stalagmites and calcite pillars. With its length of around 110 m and the dimension of its subterranean space, the interior part truly enchants with its beauty and curiosity of sediment shapes.
