Devetashka Cave

Just an hour's drive from Veliko Tarnovo, among the green hills of the Pre-Balkan Mountains, lies one of the most impressive natural attractions of Bulgaria — the Devetashka Cave. If you are looking for a place that leaves you breathless with its dimensions and mysterious atmosphere, this is your next stop.

What to expect when visiting Devetashka Cave

The cave welcomes its visitors with a majestic vault, reaching up to 60 meters in height, and with a spacious interior space filled with light, greenery and bizarre shapes. Through the huge openings in the ceiling, rays of the sun penetrate, illuminating the moss and ferns - it feels like stepping into a fairy tale. In spring and summer, when the rivers rustle and the sun casts golden spots on the walls, the place is especially picturesque.

Hidden corners and atmosphere

While walking along the marked paths, you will feel the fresh air and light coolness characteristic of the cave. Be sure to look into the rock curves — bats often nest there, which are one of the secret inhabitants of this magical world. A lesser known but memorable moment is the reflection of light in the waters of the small underground river — it often creates mystical reflections in the deepest corners of the cave.
