Pronađeni su urezani krstovi prekriveni kalcitom koji se stvara veoma sporo pa se smatra da su se Srbi skrivali u njoj za vreme Turske vladavine. Tome u prilog idu i pronađene ljudske kosti.
There have been found some engraved crosses covered with calcites. It takes a lot of time to form calcite crust, thus it is considered that Serbs had used Potpeća cave as a hideout during the Ottoman occupation. In support of the theory some human bones have been discovered also.
Cave is open to the visitors. Potpeća is located on the road Belgrade - Adriatic Sea, Užice – Požega.
