Biserujka Cave - Step into Nature's Wonder on Krk

Stand in awe before the breathtaking work of nature - Biserujka Cave on Krk island! Also known as Vitezić's Cave or Slivanj Pit, the name 'Biserujka' goes back to a legend about a hidden pirates' treasure. Namely, 'biser' in Croatian language means 'pearl'.  The cave, however, offers so much more than just  a fascinating story.  

Stunning geomorphological shapes

Situated by the sea, Biserujka Cave impresses right from the entrance. With length just over 100 m, it is not large in size, but it is outstanding nevertheless. It is divided into the following areas: Mouth, Balcony, Shaft, Great Hall, Northern Channel, Arched Hall and Cypress Hall. As you walk down the cave trail, you cannot but marvel at the magnificent geomorphological shapes. It takes thousands of years to create cave formations such as the calcareous sinters, stalagmites and stalactites.

The enchanting cave formations might catch your eye first, but Biserujka Cave also boasts a rich animal world! As many as 28 species have been detected, 6 of which are stenoendemic. In other words, species such as the pseudoscorpion practically do not live anywhere else.
