The Lipska cave is located only five kilometers away from cetinje, in the small Montenegrin village of Lipa Dobrska, just next to the famous restaurant located next to the main highway, as well as close to the Belveder viewpoint. After turning from the main highway, an old, 3km cobbled road leads you straight to the cave. The Lipska cave is the only cave with an entrance fee in the country. The cave system consists of 2.5 kilometer long tunnels, a large hall and a gallery covered in stalactites and stalagmites. The cave was discovered long ago, before the rule of Petar II, and even then visits to the cave were common. Petar II, as well as King Nikola Petrović often visited the cave themselves.
