Cave on spring of Miljacka river is the longest in B&H

During the day, various media reported that it was finally completed research and proved that it is currently the longest cave in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the one from which springs the river Mokranjska Miljacka. At the camp during the weekend, organized by our colleagues from the Speleological Club "Atom" from Zavidovici, in cooperation with colleagues from the region are finally drawn enough passes and channels, which give the cave an official maximum length. We do not wish to copy/paste the news that you can find on most sites, but if you want to peek into the largest cave in Bosnia and Herzegovina look here...

This cave has been known for a long time, but the documentation mention of a cave 20 meters deep, which should be further explored. First research and pass on those 20 feet, made the year 2008. Speleologists Haris Husanović (Atom Ekotim), and Simone Milanolo - Italian speleologist.

After that, the several camps are organized where the local speleologist in collaboration with colleagues from the region and beyond, come in and depicted a cave, but also discovered new species.

Currently the most important discovery of a new species of cave spiders corncrake, Nemanela Lade, whose first specimens found Dr. Lada Lukic-Bilela from the Institute for Genetic Engineering in Sarajevo, in which the species was named.

This new species is so special that it was established by an entirely new kind of animals.

This research and the kind of research, shows us how the rich is natural resources in Bosnia and give us inspiration to continue the work and activities to protect the nature of our country.

Research in this cave so far involved are members of the Speleological Association "Gruppo Grotte Novara" and "Gruppo Speleologica Bolognese" from Italy, "Atom" from Zavidovici, "Speleo Dodo" from Sarajevo, "Eco-Viking" from Visoko, and "Netopir" and "Ponir" from Banja Luka, and cavers from Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatian, Montenegrin, and we thank them, for discovered the beauty of this natural jewel.
