Caves Tour

Embark on an unforgettable journey to explore two of Bulgaria’s most remarkable caves, Saeva Dupka and Ledenika, set amidst the stunning landscapes of the Balkan Mountains. Begin your adventure with a visit to Saeva Dupka, a captivating cave known for its five majestic halls and 400 meters of winding corridors, showcasing some of the most exquisite cave formations in the country. Renowned for its exceptional acoustics, the cave has hosted numerous choral performances, creating an enchanting atmosphere that resonates with music and history. Named after two brothers, Seyu and Sae, who sought refuge here during the Ottoman occupation, Saeva Dupka also holds evidence of human habitation dating back to Roman times, earning it a place among Bulgaria’s top 100 tourist sites.

From there, you will journey to the northwestern part of the Balkan Mountains to discover Ledenika Cave, located just 16 kilometers from the town of Vratsa at an altitude of 830 meters. This extraordinary cave stretches for about 300 meters and features ten separate halls, the largest being the spectacular Concert Hall. Along the way, you will pass through the Passage of Sinners, a narrow corridor steeped in legend, before reaching the Lake of Wishes—a small, icy pool where folklore promises that a heartfelt wish may come true. The cave is adorned with magnificent karst formations, including stalactites and stalagmites that have been forming for thousands of years, creating a truly magical underground landscape.

Your day trip includes a scenic drive through the Balkan range, passing the picturesque village of Brestnica, where you can appreciate the region’s natural beauty. After exploring Ledenika Cave, enjoy lunch in the town of Vratsa, situated near the breathtaking Vratsata Canyon, one of Bulgaria’s premier rock-climbing destinations. The journey concludes with a comfortable return trip to Sofia, leaving you with lasting memories of Bulgaria’s geological wonders and rich cultural heritage.
