The cave and everything around it are amazing. Also and the light show in the cave is incredible. Everything was perfect and 2,5 million years old BUT the road to get there is more than DIRTY. Dear local Parliament, this is terrible you MUST to start rebuilding right now

Whilst visiting Vratsa the last thing I expected was such an informative museum with such interesting exhibits, made all the better by a fantastic young lady tour guide whose knowledge was second to none and spoke such good English which left us with such a good understanding on what we had seen.
Also the exhibit copies which were made from 3 D printers were fantastic, thanks for a great visit.

We entered the park a bit south of Vratsa, looking for the Skaklia Waterfalls.
Our Satnav app said we had to continue to a point farther away but we saw a roadsign routing us left.
So up we went along the winding route 1004, passing by the sleepy villages of Pavolche and Chelopek, going up the mountain.
There are very nice views of the impressive karst formations, including deserted buildings, sheep etc.
Finally we arrived at a monument to local hero Hristo Botev (there's another memorial for him in Vratsa itself) and after about 200 meters the road ended, so we had to turn back.
Nice!

You need to be quite a brace explorer, it's hard to find at the end of a dirt road, when you think you have found a car park, keep going. When you reach a ruined building you are there. A small rough path leads down to the cave and it's quite steep so be careful.

Hello, I am really sorry that I am going to write down this review. I know that club Caramel is connected with Vratsa night life, but this place shouldn't be on trip advisor at all. This is my oppinion, and I dont care if ppl agree or not...but this is rediculous if club caramel is something that Vratsa can be proud of. There are many many other things that can take a part of making Vratsa better tourist destination and this is not one of them for sure.
