Vjetrenica Cave, the largest cave in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Vjetrenica cave (in translation wind cave) is one of the most important caves in the Dinaric Alps mountain range, which is famous worldwide for its karstic and speleological riches.
The largest cave system discovered in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the Vjetrenica Cave, situated near the small town of Ravno and the orthodox monastery of Zavala.
The cave is adorned with a number of lakes, several waterfalls, creeks, and one of its main attractions is the Great lake about 180 meters long.
Vjetrenica which means “wind cave” or “blowhole” is the largest and most important cave in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and one of the most interesting caves in the Dinaric Alps mountain range, which is famous worldwide for its karstic and speleological riches. In the warmer parts of the year a strong blast of cold air blows from its entrance, which is very attractive in the middle of the rocky, hot and waterless terrain.
This is the richest cave in the world in terms of subterranean biodiversity.
There are more than two hundred different species registered in it, almost hundred are troglophiles, a great number of them are narrow endemic; 15 are stenoendemic, and about 37 were discovered and described in Vjetrenica for the first time.
Vjetrenica runs from the edge of Popovo Polje to the south, and on the basis of analysis of the terrain, geologists have predicted that Vjetrenica could stretch right to the Adriatic Sea in the Republic of Croatia, 15–20 km away from its entrance.
Here are some fun facts. The cave has 7,014m total channel length; there are 1,800m of total tour paths; average annual temperature is 11.6°C.
Along with the hydrological arguments, this assumption is also supported by the “unnatural” end of Vjetrenica in the form of a huge heap of stone blocks that have caved in. The Vjetrenica Cave has all the ingredients to enjoy, learn and experiencing surprises. You will feel a pleasant fresh wind at the entrance, decorated with beautiful petrogliphs.
The visiting sector of the cave has large size galleries with a path from which you will be able to admire gorgeous speleothems (stalactites, stalagmites, columns, cascade-like flowstone formations, calcite gours) and lakes with the olm (proteus anguinus), the only cave-dwelling chordate species found in Europe. The remains of eight fossilised animals have been found in it, the largest being the cave bear (Carnivoria, Ursus spelacus) and one complete skeleton of leopard (Carnivoria, Panthera pardus).
In 2004 Vjetrenica Cave has been nominated for the UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.

Pećina Vjetrenica / Cave Vjetrenica
Vjetrenica je najpoznatija pećina u Bosni i Hercegovini, zaštićeni spomenik prirode i turističko odredište u jugoistočnom dijelu Hercegovine. Smještena je 300 m istočno od Zavale, na zapadnom rubu Popova polja, u opštini Ravno, te 12 km udaljena od mjesta Slano na obali Jadranskog mora (Republika Hrvatska), 45 km od Trebinja i 80 km od grada Mostara. Ukupno je otkriveno oko 6.700 metara podzemnih kanala. Speleološke posebnosti ove jedinstvene pećine su specifična ljepota, prostrani hodnici i dvorane, brojne nakupine siga, te bogat hidrografski svijet s brojnim jezerima, nekoliko vodopada, više stalnih potoka i na desetke manjih periodičnih tokova koji teku raznim smjerovima. Posebno je privlačna pojava snažnog vjetra na ulazu kao i osjetno strujanje zraka na nekoliko mjesta u unutrašnjosti, kao i davna urušavanja stropova divovskih razmjera. Vjetrenica je podjednako zanimljiva u ekološkom, geomorfološkom i ekonomskom smislu, a istovremeno ona je i jedan od najsnažnijih izvora identiteta šireg područja Bosne i Hercegovine. Zaštićeni je spomenik prirode od 1950. godine, a 1981. proglašena geomorfološkim rezervatom prirode.
Vjetrenica Cave
Vjetrenica (pronounced [ʋjɛtrɛ̌nitsa], which means wind cave or blowhole) is the largest and most important cave in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and one of the most interesting caves in the Dinaric Alps mountain range, which is famous worldwide for its karstic and speleological riches. Its entrance it not far from the village of Zavala in southern Herzegovina. In the warmer parts of the year a strong blast of cold air blows from its entrance, which is very attractive in the middle of the rocky, hot and waterless terrain.
The cave has been explored and described to a total of about 6.7 km in length; of this the main channel is about 2.47 km long. It runs from the edge of Popovo Polje to the south, and on the basis of analysis of the terrain, geologists have predicted that Vjetrenica could stretch right to the Adriatic Sea in the Republic of Croatia, 15-20 km away from its entrance. Along with the hydrological arguments, this assumption is also supported by the unnatural end of Vjetrenica in the form of a huge heap of stone blocks that have caved in.
Vjetrenica, as it known, is the richest cave in the world in terms of subterranean biodiversity: among more than two hundred different species are registered in it, almost hundred are troglophiles, a great number of them are narrow endemic, 15 are stenoendemic, and about 37 were discovered and described in Vjetrenica for the first time.

Napad JNA na Hrvatsko selo Ravno u Hercegovini
Ravno suffered heavy damage at the hands of the Yugoslav People's Army during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Bosnian War started in October 1991 by the slaughter of the Croats in this village. This event found Bosniak politicians totally unprepared and president Izetbegovic declared This is not our war, believing that the Yugoslav Army and armed Serbs would not dare to do the same in the rest Bosnia and Hercegovina. This, despite the JNA slaughter of Croats in Croatia and the leveling of Ravno. Izetbegovic respected and feared the JNA, praising it at one point as a stabilising effect in BiH - blaming reservists for trouble. The JNA had already shown aggression towards BiH yet Izetbevovic invited them to Biljeljna. The non-Serb population was swiftly ethnically cleansed. Little wonder that many Bosnian Croats did not trust Sarajevo.
U ljeto 1991., kada se razmahalas srbijansko-armijska agresija na Hrvatsku, kao i na dijelove Bosne i Hercegovine (poznat je slučaj spaljivanja hrvatskoga naselja Ravno u ondašnjoj općini Trebinje u Hercegovini, praćenoga ubojstvima i progonom Hrvata - događaj koji je predsjedništvo ignoriralo kao da se ne radi o području BiH), Izetbegović je izbjegavao osudu srpske politike, stvarajući privid ekvidistance. Srpski agresori zapoceli su napadom na Ravno 21. rujna 1991. osvajacki rat u Bosni i Hercegovini. Ova agresija znacila je pocetak otvorenog ratnog sukoba i na teritoriju BiH. Tadasnji predsjednik Predsjednistva BiH Alija Izetbegovic, na upit novinara o spaljivanju Hrvatskog sela Ravno u Popovu Polju izjavljuje: Ovo nije nas rat. Ne nadujuci za pomoc od centralisticku Sarajevu Hrvati su se prvi organizirali politicki i vojni protiv srpskog agresora u BIH.

PEĆINA VJETRENICA, Bosnia & Herzegovina
Vjeternica (which means 'wind cave') is the largest cave in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the warmer parts of the year a cold air blows from its entrance.
The cave has been explored and described to a total of about 6.1 thousand meters in length; of this the main canal is about 2.47 thousand metres long (from the edge of Popovo polje to the south). There are several permanent and occasional streams, and lakes, which the largest is about 180 m long. There are many stalactites, flowstone, draperies, cascades and others forms. In terms of its biological diversity it is one of the richest caves in the world. It is officially in second place, with 85 troglobionates.
The remains of eight fossilised animals have been found in it, the largest being the cave bear (Carnivoria, Ursus spelacus) and one complete skeleton of leopard (Carnivoria, Panthera pardus). On the rocks at the entrance to the cave there are two carved stones, typical for Medieval tombstones in the region. In a scientific sense, Vjetrenica has been the site of many different forms of research, which may be traced back to the 16th century. Pliny the Elder in his work 'Historia naturalis' mentions a nameless cave from which a strong whirlwind blows, and he was actually referring to Vjeternica. Vjeternica has been visited by thousands of tourists until 1991, when in the fighting tourist equipment was destroyed.
