Snezhanka, Show cave near Peshtera, Bulgaria
The Snezhanka cave system extends 368 meters in length with two main passages, featuring numerous stalactites and stalagmites throughout its chambers.
Three local explorers discovered the cave system on January 3, 1961, leading to its development and public opening in 1965.
The cave contains circular hearths and artifacts indicating ancient Thracian occupation, suggesting its use as a shelter during periods of conflict.
Visitors reach the cave entrance via an 830-meter footpath from the parking area, located 5 kilometers southwest of Peshtera town.
Within the Wonderful Hall stands a crystalline formation that resembles a feminine figure, inspiring the cave's name which translates to Snow White.
