Opened Lipskaya Cave: first impressions
The year of 2015 was marked by the opening for tourists of the famous Lipskaya cave in the vicinity of Cetinje. This event was prepared for more than a year. The fact is that the condition of the cave roofs by experts was considered unsafe, and nobody could enjoy the beauties of one of the most mysterious places of Montenegro. At the moment, a small section of the Lipskaya cave has been completely reconstructed and decorated. Perhaps in the future, people will discover new, now uncharted corners of its corridors.According to local guides, the Lipskaya cave was discovered relatively recently, during the Austrian occupation (the beginning of the 20th century) by shepherds, whose dog accidentally fell into a karst hole in the soil. There are many such "holes" in the mountains, and falling into the karst pit is almost guaranteed to be ruined, since they are quite deep. But the dog managed to get out through a small crevice, which turned out to be the door to the wonderful world of the Lip cave. The Austrians expanded the entrance, detonating the main blocking stones. The goals were, most likely, strategic - the servicemen were looking for drinking water here.
How is the Lipskaya Cave now arranged? According to the first tourists of the season, dared to visit this unique natural site, the descent is quite convenient, however, the lighting does not favorably emphasize the atmosphere.
In order not to freeze during a trip, you can use two ways to keep warm. One local, suitable only for adults - go to an exotic bar under the arches, the second traditional - warmer to dress and walk faster. True, it will not turn out quickly for those who like to take pictures - you want to capture almost every corner. Ceilings, colonnades, natural compositions - all this is incredibly exotic. Children will like the delivery to the cave on a merry train.
The excursions themselves are rather short, and until the stated 40 minutes are not enough, but there is a chance that the program will be supplemented and refined. At the moment the price of an adult ticket is 7 euros. About the cave you can tell both in Serbian and in English.
Lipskaya cave is a good entertainment for the whole family, but whether it costs its money, it is better to ask directly those tourists who have already had time to appreciate it.
