Journey into this mystifying karst tunnel, often called the "Eyes of God" for the two massive holes in the ceiling that mimic eyes and lend the entire cave a surreal beauty.

What to see

  • Huge, naturally carved entrances to the tunnel, forming dramatic cathedral-like arches
  • The iconic "Eyes of God," which become particularly stunning with sunlight streaming through them on bright days

What to do

  • Enjoy scenic walking trails around and through the cave
  • Rock climb some of the best routes in Bulgaria (not beginner-friendly, suitable for advanced climbers)
  • For a thrill, try bungee jumping off the cave's largest entrance

Take note

  • Adventure activities such as bungee jumping or sport climbing should be booked in advance online through local guide companies

What to bring

  • Prepare to explore by packing sturdy walking shoes, plenty of water, and sun protection for walks outside of the cave
