DEVETASHKATA CAVE, BULGARIA
9/10/13
BULGARIA IS A SMALL, YET BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY IN EUROPE...
THE COUNTRY IS RICH IN CULTURE AND BEAUTY...
IN RECENT YEARS, IT HAS EMERGED AS ONE OF THE
MOST POPULAR HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS IN EUROPE... THE WEATHER IS PERFECT
FOR VISITING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.. THE MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS, SPECTACULAR CITIES
AND THE BLACK SEA RESORTS ARE SOME OF THE MAIN
TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN BULGARIA... THE CAPITAL CITY, SOFIA,
HAS BREATH-TAKING BEAUTY...
THERE ARE SEVERAL UNDERGROUND CAVES IN THE MOUNTAINS OF BULGARIA
THAT ARE QUITE SOOTHING AND STRIKING... ONE OF THESE CAVES
IS DEVETASHKATA CAVE...
LOCATED IN DEVETAKI, THE DEVETASHKATA CAVE IS LOCATED NEAR
THE TOWN OF LOVECH... THE CAVE IS SITUATED ALONG THE
SHORELINE OF OSAM RIVER... THE DEVETASHKATA CAVE IS ONE OF
THE BIGGEST AND MOST IMPRESSIVE CAVES IN BULGARIA... THE CAVE
WAS DISCOVERED IN 1921 AND WAS USED AS AN OIL DEPOT
FOR SEVERAL YEARS, ESPECIALLY IN THE 1950'S... ACCORDING TO ARCHAEOLOGISTS,
THE CAVE WAS INHABITED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PALAEOLITHIC ERA
AND WAS KEPT IN USE THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES UNTIL THE
MIDDLE AGES... DUE TO ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE, THE SITE OF
THE CAVE HAS BEEN DECLARED AS A CULTURAL HERITAGE OF
THE COUNTRY AND HAS BEEN OPENED TO TOURISTS...
THE DEVETASHKATA CAVE IS QUITE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE... THE SUN PEEKS
THROUGH THE HOLES IN THE CEILINGS AND WALLS AND LIGHTS UP
THE INTERIOR OF THE CAVE... THE INTERIOR IS COOL,
AND YOU CAN FEEL CALM AND RELAXED ONCE YOU ARE
INSIDE THE CAVE... THE AREA AROUND THE CAVE IS LOVELY
AS WELL... THE RIVER AND NEARBY TOWNS ARE ALSO FUN TO VISIT...
I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED OUR VISIT TO THE DEVETASHKATA CAVE IN BULGARIA...
