They were discovered during the construction of the Lika Railway in 1924 by the builder of the railway, Nikola Turkalj. They were named after the Cerovac railway station. These caves are also one of the largest cave bear sites in Croatia, and were the site of the discovery of a bronze ax and fossilized human bones belonging to a "cave bear hunter" who lived here about 20,000 years ago.

Touring the dark, stony caves was scary for me, but I caught up. Got to witness ancient inscriptions and ancient artefacts that were utilized by ancient population.

I visited the Cerovacs Caves this weekend and was not disappointed at all! I am so glad I decided to dedicate a full weekend to explore them. I took a beginner's tour of the caves, had lots of fun, and learned so much about them. I also took my children on a tour, they were very impressed. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and were able to answer all of our questions. We then decided to take an extended tour of the caves which was worth it!!
