About the cave

• Uhlovitsa Cave was explored by Studenets Cave Club, Chepelare, led by Dimitar Raichev. It is one of the oldest in the Rhodopes – over 3,500,000 years. A two-storey, precipice with a length of 460 m, the cave impresses with its numerous secondary cave formations. Among stalactites and stalagmites, dendrites make a strong impression – formations that will make you feel as if you are on the seabed. The landscaped part of the cave ends with a snow-white limestone waterfall and four sinter lakes, which fill with water in the spring.
