Devetashka cave and Krushuna Waterfalls Day Trip from Sofia
The Krushunski Waterfalls ( Krushuna Waterfalls )
One of Bulgaria’s natural marvels lies huddled in Central Bulgaria, 35 km north-east of the city of Lovech. The Krushunski waterfalls are the biggest water cascade in the country. The good news is that this natural landmark can be easily reached by car but if you are in for a walk, we recommend you take the eco trail. This trail will lead you through the beauties of the gorge, revealing its many lakes, rock formations, smaller and bigger cascades. In less than 2 hours you will climb all the way up to the main waterfall that falls from a height of 20 meters and branches out into smaller waterfalls and a multitude of rapids and water basins.The ‘spring’ of the waterfall lies “hidden” in a cave at the top of the cliffs and can be reached through narrow path, which squeezes under the limestone rocks.
Devetashka cave
The gorge of the Krushunski waterfalls is known for its many amazing caves the most wondrous of which is the Devetashka cave located a bit further down the valley. This cave is truly impressive in size with an entrance that is 35-meter high and 30-meter wide. It also hasseven different-sized holes in the ceiling that let the sun in during the day so that the main hall and some of the cave’s nooks are naturally lit.
The Devetashka cave has been marked by human presence ever since the Neolithic age.
Curiously enough in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s it served as a secret military warehouse where oil was stored and in 2011 its spacious lobby was turned into the set for the shooting of the Expendables 2. Today the cave is home to several species of bats and is closed to visitors in June and July when the breeding period of its winged inhabitants begins.
