About This Attraction

Djevojačka – Girl’s Cave

Situated 12 kilometers from Kladanj, within the Brateljevići settlement, lies the Girl's Cave. It holds a place of intrigue in Bosnia and Herzegovina due to its entwined legend of a courageous girl, whose resting place adorns the hill at the cave's end. This tale has been passed down since the Ottoman era, woven through generations. Notably, the Girl's Cave also harbors vestiges from ancient epochs, suggesting its potential as a former cult site in the Bogomil tradition. Adorning the cave entrance are etched depictions, including horsemen, deer, hunting scenes, women, men, and other symbolic imagery. Today, the cave remains a gathering spot for Bosnian Muslims.
