Uhlovitsa, Show cave in Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria
The Uhlovitsa cave system extends 460 meters in length through limestone formations, featuring two distinct levels connected by natural passages.
Local residents Dimitar and Georgi Raichev discovered the cave system in 1967, leading to its development as a tourist destination in the Rhodope region.
The cave name originates from the Bulgarian word for Strix owls, reflecting the connection between local wildlife and geological formations in this region.
Guided tours navigate 330 meters of the cave's total length, maintaining a constant temperature between 10 and 11 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
Four sinter lakes emerge during spring within the cave system, while a white travertine formation resembling a frozen waterfall marks the terminal point.
