The cave „Strasna Pec“

The cave „Strasna pec“ is situated near to the village of Savar on the island of Dugi otok, near the natural park of Telascica and National park of Kornati.
The first written dates of the cave history are from 1898 and it is said that the king of Austrian- Hungarian imperium Franjo Josip visited it in the 1904. 

Archaeological researches within the Cave Strašna Peć were never carried out. However, considering the immediate vicinity of the cave Vlakno, which represents an exceptional location as well as the caves Goat and Badanj, we can suggest that this cave, thanks to its geographical position, at the very least served as a temporary habitat for early human populations on the island. A flint artefact, a small knife from the Stone Age, was accidentally found and due to the shape of the rope and the handle it is possible to date it to the Neolithic representing a rare finding at this moment. 

The entrance of the cave is above 70 meters from the sea level. The entrance is 10 meters wide and 7 meters high. The cave has to rooms, the first with stalagmits and the second more deep with big peaces of stones. 

The Cave is open during the summer months.
