Ledenika Cave
Ledenika is one of the most beautiful caves in the country. It is located 16 km away from the town of Vratsa. The length of the cave is 320 m and it has 10 halls.

Long time ago, the cave was filled with water, which gradually pulled away. Today, the cave has only one lake named Ezeroto na Zhelaniata (the wishing well). According to a legend, a wish made at that spot will come true.

The White Hall has some interesting formations, yet the most famous Ledenika chamber is the Concert Hall. Its height is 23 m.

During the spring and winter, ice formations can be spotted in the outer chamber.
