Bulgaria Inside

Located very close to the village of Yagodina, in the western Rhodope Mountain region. Diavolskoto Gurlo is another cave located nearby.

The temperature inside the cave is six degrees Celsius year-round. During the summer, bring warm clothes since the walk lasts nearly one hour.

Yagodinska cave has three levels and only one of them is suitable for mass tourist visits. A group of enthusiasts needs to form before they are taken to some of the other levels. Such extreme adventure can be negotiated with one of the guides.

According to a tradition, a big number of couples get married inside the cave. The same wedding chamber is used for New Year’s Eve celebrations.

The cave has its wall of sin. Visitors try to stick a coin on the clay-covered portion of the wall. Only innocent ones can accomplish this according to the legend.

Many stalactites and stalagmites can be seen there. Some cave pearls are available for visitors to look at, as well.

Yagodinska cave is open for visitors until 4pm. Groups of tourists enter the cave every hour.

Accommodation is possible in Yagodina and Trigrad, both villages being located nearby.
