It’s the first cave in Monenegro which is opened for tourists, after the project of cave’s valorisation, on which worked Municipality of Cetinje and ‘Lipa Cave’ company.
Lipa Cave is one of the largest caves in Montenegro. It is a karst cave with a system of about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) of passages and halls.[2] The difference in elevation between the highest and the lowest point in the cave system is more than 300 m (980 ft).[3] In 2015, a total of 3,512 m (11,522 ft) of the cave had been explored and surveyed. Part of the cave contains an underground river.[4] It starts close to the village of Lipa and stretches into the mountains by the Adriatic Sea.[5] The temperature in the cave is 8–12 °C (46–54 °F).[2]
Lipa Cave is first and only cave in Montenegro accessible for group visits.[6] It is maintained through a partnership between private enterprise and the municipality.[3][7] In the territory of Cetinje, there are more than 1,000 speleological objects, of which the most significant are Lipa Cave, Obod Cave and Cetinje Cave. Of these, Lipa Cave has the longest passages and greatest number of preserved cave formations. Most of the caves in the area are covered with snow and ice for the most part of the year, making Lipa Cave the most noted.[citation needed]
As of 2015 the cave can only be visited if visitors are accompanied by trained guides on special tours.[2] Besides their role in preserving cave formations, the guides tell visitors about the cave and its history. Before being opened permanently on 13 July 2015, Lipa Cave had been open to visitors only twice.[5][8] The cave is one of the main attractions in Montenegro.[9]
