Cerovac Caves are the largest cave complex in Croatia. They were discovered during the construction of the railway track from Gračac toward Cerovac. The Caves were named after this station. The Upper Cave is 1200 meters long and the Lower Cave is 2400 meters long. Between these two caves, there is a significantly smaller Middle Cave. They are mostly accessible for visit and are extremely rich in cave decorations. They are also one of the largest finding places of cave bear remains in Croatia.
