Пещера Братьев Греве

Pещera Bratьev Greve is a limestone cave in the Sokolyi Mountains, distinguished by its network of interconnected passages and chambers. The interior features multiple levels and openings where natural daylight penetrates, creating varied lighting conditions as visitors move deeper underground.

The name came from two brothers who carved their family name into the entrance in 1904. Archaeological work has uncovered Bronze Age settlements within the passages, showing that people used this site as a dwelling place long before modern times.

The cave served as a shelter for communities throughout ancient times, with evidence of habitation visible in the passages and chambers. This long history of human use makes it a living record of how people adapted to life underground in this region.

A visit requires a small group and flashlights to navigate the dark passages safely. Wear sturdy shoes with good grip, as the ground can be wet and slippery in certain areas.

The cave is home to several bat species that spend their winters in the crevices and niches throughout the passages. Skeletal remains of ice age animals like cave bears have been found preserved here, offering clues about the prehistoric wildlife that once inhabited the region.
