    The cable car does not run on Mondays or the last Tuesday of the month, and may be suspended in bad weather. On such days, the visit to the Millennium Cross is replaced with a panoramic stop at Mid-Vodno, reached by minibus.

    If you choose the one-hour boat tour to Vrelo Cave, there will not be enough time for lunch. In high season, it's recommended to bring snacks or packed food.

    Children are welcome. However, children under four years old are required by law to use a child safety seat, which is not provided on group tours. If you are traveling with small children, you are recommended to take a private tour where a child seat can be arranged.
