Devetashka cave, Limestone cave near Devetaki, Bulgaria
The limestone formation extends for 2,442 meters with an entrance measuring 35 meters in width and 30 meters in height.
Archaeological findings reveal continuous human occupation from 70,000 years ago through the Middle Paleolithic period to the Neolithic era.
The cave holds substantial collections of Neolithic artifacts dating from 6000 to 4000 BC, representing early Bulgarian cultural development.
Access to the cave closes during early June through late July to protect the breeding season of thirty thousand resident bats.
Seven large ceiling openings allow natural light to penetrate the main chamber, creating distinct illumination patterns across the cave floor.
