Cave or in Croatia

Important Neanderthal site in Croatia. There is parking at a prehistory museum which has exhibits from the cave and a garden with re-created Neanderthals and their prey animals. There is also a walk from here to the cave itself, which might not be an easy walk, as it is described as being closed in bad weather.

Possible, but unlikely evidence for cannibalism were discovered on Neanderthal bones from Krapina.
