In the heart of this captivating landscape, you’ll discover the Bijambare Caves, a network of limestone caves that have been shaping and evolving for an astonishing 50 million years. These caves have been sculpted by the patient work of underground rivers, resulting in a mesmerizing world of geological formations. Stalactites, stalagmites, and enchanting underground lakes adorn these subterranean chambers.

While you explore the Bijambare Caves and marvel at their delicate formations, remember to resist the temptation to touch the stalactites and stalagmites, for they are fragile and sensitive. The oils from your hands can hinder their natural growth.

It says on the internet that they are working and the current state of visitors, we drove for 3 and a half hours only for the security guard to tell us that it was not working and that we could just walk. Frivolous management in every respect. Data should be updated.

Very beautiful caves, good wooden walkways, and nicely lit. Bring your jacket. It is cold inside. Entrance is 3 MK. The cave attendant is very polite and knows Arabic and English. You can enter the caves only at certain times, and can stay inside for a maximum is 30 minutes. They start around 11:00 am. You should be there 5-10 minutes before entry time. Note that you also need about 20 minutes to walk from the parking lot. So, plan your arrival accordingly. There is a small train which you can take from the parking to the caves (2 MK), but is not recommended because the departure times are infrequent (every hour or hour and 20 minutes). The walk from the parking to the caves is nice, exempt when it is very hot (it is an open area). There is a nice restaurant near the caves (try the delicious veal with mushroom sauce and homemade bread). There is a nice forest path, well maintained when you walk for about 20 minutes. then it becomes muddy. Still, It is a good trail. Overall, excellent site, a must visit if you are in the area.

The caves are amazing. Insides are chilly. There’s an entrance ticket of 2 BAM, then 1 BAM train ticket to the caves, then a 3 BAM Ticket to caves and 1 BAM train ticket back to the parking lot. So a total of 7 BAM deal. But worth it. The caves have amazing acoustics, though advised not to make a high pitch sound to avoid bats. Some people even come to get married here in them! Museum is Sarajevo fancies the remains from Stone Age. And there are toilets where the train drops you and shops to get souvenirs.
