Why visit Cave Park Grabovača?
Overview
Cave Park Grabovača is extremely rich in karst formations and includes as many as 9 speleological objects. The cave Samograd is open to the public and can be visited with a guide.
Cave Samograd is a true work of nature and a great place to get acquainted with the underground world. The cave is about 240 m long and offers an impressive insight into the many shapes of its glittering rocks.
It is located in a karst sinkhole which is accessible with stairs. In the cave, there is also a fascinating stairway, which was hand-chiseled in stone. Solid footwear and warm clothes are recommended because the average temperature in the caves is 8°C.
The whole park area has vast biodiversity – there are lots of rare and protected plant species as well as protected animal species, which provide an insight into the incredible richness of karst phenomena at the same time.
Do not miss the opportunity to visit the “Čovjek i krš” (Humans and Karst) educational trail on Mount Grabovača. The trail is about 3 km long and the tour takes about 2 hours. Along the trail there are 20 information panels that will tell you a very interesting story of coexistence of men and karst.
The trail also leads to Vidikovac, a belvedere with a rest stop, which offers an unforgettable view of Gospić, the Velebit Mountain and the canyon of the Lika River - the second-largest subterranean river in Europe.
It takes only a 10-minute drive to reach the Cave Park Grabovača from the highway. Near the parking lot there is a playground for children and other amenities include a belvedere with forest organs, a small lake, a maze and a resting spot.
What a great place for a family trip in the gorgeous nature of the Lika region!
