Zdenc-Vidovec Educational Trail

Božakovo Village with its two karst caves, Zdenc and Vidovec, offers a stunning view of the Kolpa River from the Magdalenska Stena. Zdenc Cave is one of the neatest spring caves in Bela Krajina, reflecting people's connection with karst water sources. The locals have enclosed the water source and behind the enclosure is a cave that is 78 meters long. Vidovec Cave, formed by Vidovec Stream, is Bela Krajina's longest water cave at 270 meters. The circular educational trail takes approximately an hour to complete.
