Devil's Throat Waterfall, Underground waterfall in Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria

The Devil's Throat Waterfall plunges 42 meters into a massive underground chamber called the Roaring Hall, measuring 110 meters long and 40 meters wide.

In ancient times, local inhabitants conducted ceremonies at this location, considering it a passage to the underworld connected to the legend of Orpheus.

A colony of long-fingered bats resides within the cave system, making it an essential natural habitat for this species in the Balkan region.

Visitors access the waterfall through a 150-meter gallery and climb 301 concrete steps alongside the cascade, guided by electric lighting and safety railings.

The underground river disappears into a 150-meter siphon gallery after the waterfall, creating a natural phenomenon where water resurfaces 60 meters away.
