Prohodna is the most beautiful karst cave in north central Bulgaria, located in the Iskar Gorge near the village of Karlukovo. The main sight here are the "two huge eyes" on the roof of the cave - the eyes of supernatural power.

Prohodna a.k.a. Eyes of God is magnificent Cave. It's a very huge and not typical cave - it is actually a huge tunnel that goes straight through a hill. The eyes on its top in the middle of it are really mysterious. If you want, you can climb on the walls.

A fantastic and mystical ancient Thracian sanctuary near Kardzhali! A definite must-see. It's a hidden gem waiting to be discovered and swarmed by the crowds. The hike to the cave was a bit strenuous (for novice hikers, that is) and took around one hour, but the views were well worth the effort!!! The trail is not well marked, and there is no parking at the trailhead, so we had to park on the side of the road. There is a hotel&restaurant nearby, which is right on the water and serves delicious fresh fish.

The Orlova Chuka cave is located on the Northern shore of the Cherni Lom river, about 45 km South of Ruse, and therefore, South of the Danube river. It lies about 3 km from the town of Pepelina, the closest settlement to the caves. The caves are about 13 km long, 3 km of which can be visited. The rest is still under exploration and not accessible by the public. Orlova Chuka was discovered accidentally by a local shepherd in 1941 and was opened to visitors in 1952. It has multiple compartments, many with specific names, such as the Concert Hall, the Large Gallery, the Big Screes, the Cosmic Hall, etc. Interesting rock formations are also on display: the DInosaur, the Turtle, the Owl among others. In addition to the geological interest and the amazing views, the cave also houses 14 different bat species and it is pa rt of the Rusenski Lom Nature Park, one of 11 nature parks designated by the Bulgarian governments and protected by the Ministry of Environment and Water. The cave is open to visitors between April and October, seven days a week, between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. The token entrance fee includes the guide, since the cave can only be visited on a guided tour.

The cave is spectatular, however, it is easily accessible even if you are visiting with young children. The area is beautiful and there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, relaxing or dining in the area.
