Orlova Chuka Cave

It sits near the village of Pepelina, in the Dve Mogili municipality of the Ruse region.

It’s the second longest cave in Bulgaria (over 13 km).

The temperature here stays constant — 14°C all year round.

And in one of its chambers, the Concert Hall, the acoustics are so pure that music echoes like a prayer.

It was discovered in 1941 by a shepherd, and today about 3 km of it are lit and open to visitors.

The cave impressed me with its beautiful stalactites, stalagmites, and unique formations.
