17th Balkan Cavers’ Camp
May 29 - June 2
Join us from May 29th to June 2nd for the Balkan Cavers Camp 2024! The official program starts on the 30th of May. The camp will take place in Croatia at the Cerovacke Caves. Cerovacke Caves are the largest tourist cave complex in Croatia and are located on the hillside of southern Velebit, on the northeastern slope of the Crnopac hill , in the protected area of the Velebit Nature Park. The nearest town is Gračac, 4 km away.
Since its inception in 2007, the Balkan Speleological Union has been proudly hosting this annual event in different countries across the Balkan Peninsula. This year, we’re thrilled to introduce some exciting new elements to our program. Alongside the chance to visit and explore some of the most breathtaking caves, we are launching a series of workshops on cave survey, navigation apps, LiDAR, new technologies and tools, cave science etc. These sessions, led by experts from various countries, aim to broaden the scope of cave exploration techniques and enhance your skill set.
Moreover, we are organising panel discussions on cave polution and cave cadastre, providing a platform for in-depth dialogue and knowledge sharing among the caving community. But that’s not all – they have many more surprises in store! These additional features are designed to enrich your experience and ensure that the Balkan Cavers Camp 2024 is an unforgettable event. Our vision is not just to explore the depths of the earth, but also to forge lasting bonds among cavers and speleological organisations from the Balkan region and the world over, so join us on “Journey Beneath, Bond Beyond”
