Petnica

The Petnica cave is a natural landmark in the city of Valjevo, located 300 meters from the Petnica research station. This is also one of the most beautiful caves in Serbia. Josif Pancic and Jovan Cvijic carried out research on this site in the nineteenth century. The cave has been popular with tourists since at least the 19th century, when it was one of Serbia's top three caving sites, alongside Prekonoska and Lazareva Pecina.

Remains and the oldest signs of life in western Serbia were discovered after archaeological and anthropological investigation within the cave and in its environs. It was verified in 1969 that the sites lying in front of the Petnicka Cave's entrance were the first full Neolithic habitats on Yugoslavian soil. The age is thought to be around 6,000 years. Visitors at the Petnica research station frequently return to this location. The cave has yet to be thoroughly investigated in certain areas.
