Šupljara Cave
Šupljara cave is an underground cave located along the northern edge of the Lower Lakes in a limestone canyon slopes above the lake Kaluđerovac. It is possible to pass through the cave because it is hollow, and that’s what its name means.
Šupljara is a habitat with a specific environment. The temperature in the cave is constant at about 10.5°C and the air is saturated with moisture. Due to these conditions, Šupljara is inhabited with specially adapted cave fauna. Some species found here were discovered and scientifically described for the first time!
In 1964 the Šupljara Cave was additionally protected as a geomorphologic monument of nature.
