Magura Cave

The limestone cave lies at an altitude of 461 m. It is 2.6 km long and consists of a main gallery and three branches. One of them is used as an aging cellar for local wine. In the cave you can see numerous formations - stalactites, stalagmites, stalagnates and lime milk. The largest stalagnate is over 20 m long and 4 m in circumference.

It is the most important cave in the northwest of Bulgaria inhabited by bats. Eight species live in it all year round, including the Greater and Lesser Horseshoe Bat, the Greater Bat and the Bechstein Nocturnal, as well as those listed in the Red Book of Endangered Species, the Mediterranean horseshoe bat and the long-legged nightshade.

The cave is also an archaeological site. Bones of cave bears and traces of human presence from the Stone Age, Neolithic Age, Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age have been discovered there. On the walls of the grotto you can see paintings depicting, among others hunting men, dancing women, animals and stars.
