Dobrostanski biser, Show cave in the Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria

The Dobrostanski biser cave extends 44 meters into white marble rock formations, featuring stalactites, stalagmites, and stalactones throughout its chambers and passages.

Archaeological excavations in 1963 uncovered human remains inside the cave, correlating with a local tale about a Turkish tax collector named Ahmed Aga.

Local folklore attributes the cave's alternative name, Ahmetyova Dupka, to an incident involving a Turkish official who faced consequences after unknowingly consuming pork.

The cave welcomes visitors from Friday to Sunday between 9:00 and 18:00, with guided tours available at 5 BGN for adults and 4 BGN for children.

The cave contains natural rock formations resembling various shapes, including a unicorn, a turtle, a flying saucer, and what appears to be a Disney castle.
