RAVNO TRIP

Average temperature: 11.6 deg celsius cave length: 7,014m, Tour path: 1,800m.
Highly recommended for anyone keen on nature or just wishing just to cool down as there is very pleasant fresh cool breeze just as you enter.

The visiting section of the cave has large galleries with a footpath from which you can admire stalagmites, stalactites, columns and cascade-like flow-stones. You’re also able to see the blind proteas (white, lizard like fish). The staff are friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. The caves are worth a visit, especially if you’re passing on your way to Slano or Ston in Croatia.

You can drive by car 40-mins or rent cycles from us and cycle along the old railway track through Jurassic landscape, valleys, vineyards and local villages all the way to the caves and restaurant. If you travel beyond into Croatia, there is a small local border to cross, one where we have never had to wait to pass through!
Travel distance is 38 km.

This restaurant is worth a stop at if you are visiting the caves or heading on to Slano. They have a varied menu and often have a spit roast or BBQ on the go.

It overlooks the valleys and vineyards  in the Jurassic Trebinje mountains.

Sometimes it’s nice to get away from the crowds and find the real Bosnia.

A small monastery is nearby that welcome guests.

Bikes are also available for rental.

This building used to be the Old Railway Station, is now a small hotel and winery steeped in history, with lots of memorabilia and pictures to take you back.

Visit the small but interesting wine cellar, where you will be welcome to try local wines, Zilavka a lovely crisp white, a clear favourite of ours. There’s a large terrace in the garden, with a varied menu and outdoor BBQ.
