Kozarnika, Dimovo Municipality

The Kozarnika cave extends 210 meters into limestone formations, containing multiple chambers with mineral deposits formed through geological processes over millennia.

Archaeological excavations in Kozarnika revealed human presence from 1.6 million years ago, marking one of the earliest known migration routes from Africa to Europe.

Research teams from Bulgaria and international institutions conduct systematic studies of the cave's 21 geological layers, documenting human evolution patterns.

The cave maintains consistent internal temperatures throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring appropriate clothing and schedule guided tours in advance.

Scientists discovered a human molar tooth in Kozarnika that represents the earliest evidence of human presence in Europe outside the Caucasus region.
