Veternica Cave

Veternica is a cave located in the Medvednica Nature Park, on the very edge of the city of Zagreb, and in 1979 it was protected by law as a geomorphological natural monument.

It is 7,128 m long; the first 380 m of the cave is open to visitors. It was named after the air current (Kajkavian: veter) that appears at the entrance. The entrance to the cave lies at an absolute height of 320 m.
