    On the slopes of Kalafat Mountain, just 21 km away from Nis City, where the Toponica River formed an extraordinary gorge, is hidden Samar Cave the beauty of  South & East Serbia. 

    Samar Cave, also known as Milutin’s Cave, is named after a man who contributed most of his speleological studies to Serbia and the world. Milutin Veljkovic spent 465 days bivouacking in the cave and broking the world record enrolling himself in the Guinness Book of Records.

    The cave is significant for paleontological discoveries of a prehistoric bear and lion. Along with other caves in this area, it forms a unique cave system that is protected as a natural monument.

    Day 1

    Please be ready by 8:45 AM at your hotel for a prompt departure by 9:00 AM.

    Driving around 50 min. in the direction of Eastern Serbia and Kalafat Mountain, which is not large but rich in historical and cultural sites. As well there are many natural protected areas, one of them is our today's caving adventure. 

    Passing through Samar Cave is an authentic caving adventure that requires good physical fitness and basic caving equipment. The total length of all canals is 3197 m. The main canal 1940 m long, consists of four sump narrowings, also called doors. It is known as a tunnel type, and at some points resembles the most beautiful slot canyons, which makes passing through the cave even more spectacular.

    More about this adventure you could read on the blog Samar Cave, a forgotten jewel worthy of the Guinness World Record. 

    Return to the Hotel in the afternoon, around 16:00 PM.
