The Bukuroshja e Fjetur Cave (Albanian: Shpella e Bukuroshes së Fjetur) or Radac Cave (Albanian: Shpella e Radacit), also known as Sleeping Beauty Cave, is a cave located in the village of Radac, Peja, Kosovo.[1] Around 11 kilometers from the town of Peja, the cave is found to the left of the Peja-Rozaje Road in the Accursed Mountains.[2]

Overview

The Bukuroshja e Fjetur Cave was first discovered in 1968.[1] Archaeologists are currently examining Neolithic human remains, dating back six thousand years, discovered within the cave. Alongside these findings, a bullet from World War I and a man's pipe from the same era were also uncovered. Local stories suggest the potential presence of evidence related to World War II soldiers in the cave.
