Throat cave, Yagodinska cave, jeep safari to Eagle`s eye panorama platform, walking tour in Shiroka Luka. Return to

The cave ‘Dyavolsko garlo’ (Devil`s Throat) was named in this way due to the rocks around its entrance, which looked like a
gaping mouth. If the river carries something into this cave, it will never be retrieved. Some years ago, the rising river
carried away 500 kilograms of wood and not a single whittle was discovered. When making researches, cave specialists
poured colorful water along the stream, which went out after 2 hours. The exit of the river siphon is also quite
gruesome. Cave specialists organize expeditions there, using rubber boats and sailing against the stream. Many Bulgarian
and foreign cave specialists have explored the underground way of the river. Despite that, it remains a mystery even
nowadays.
“Yagodina” Cave is located in the Buynovo Gorge near the Rhodoope village of Yagodina. It is one of the most famous and
most-visited caves in Bulgaria. Its galleries extend to a length of 8,501 meters, which makes it the 4th longest cave in
Bulgaria and the longest in the Rhodope. The temperature in the cave is between 6 and 8 degrees all year round, and it has
a humidity of more than 90% (as do most caves). The itinerary continues for another kilometer, affording visitors the
opportunity to observe almost every type of cave formation, but most impressive are the many cave pearls. They are formed
as real pearls are, beginning with grains of sand that fall into the water and then are coated with layer after layer of calcite,
year after year, which is how they become round.
“Eagle’s Eye” - The beauty of the Buynovo Gorge can be appreciated from “a bird’s-eye view”, thanks to the creative ideas of
the local tourist association which can be reached by off road trip with jeep. They have constructed what they call ‘The
Excursions in the Rhodopes

Eagle’s Eye’, a metal platform built on the precipitous cliff face of the ‘Saint Iliya’ Peak at a height of 1,563 meters, with
impressive views of the entire surround area. During good weather, the entire Rhodope Range and even parts of Greece are
visible, and individual peaks can be identified.
Folklore and architectural complex of Shiroka Laka - Shiroka Laka Village is located in the Rhodoope, 23 km northeast of
Smolyan and 16 km away from Pamporovo. The name of the village derives from the Old Bulgarian word “Laka” – curve,

comprises an area of 12 hectares. With drops that are almost vertical and at times even overhanging above the river below,
it is impregnable on three sides. Its strategic location and natural defenses explain why it has been used since the days of
the Thracians, who fortified it in the 5th century BCE. The fortress was rebuilt during the time of the Roman Emperor
Justinian as one of some 300 fortresses erected to defend the Empire against invasions by Slavic tribes.
The Bachkovo Monastery (Bachkovski manastir) is one of the largest and oldest Eastern Orthodo monasteries in Europe. It

for the unique combination of Byzantine, Georgian and Bulgarian culture, united by the common faith. It was founded by
Prince Grigol Bakurianis-dze, prominent Georgian military commander in Byzantine service, in 1083. Since the 13th
century, Georgians lost their domination over the monastery, but nevertheless, Georgian traditions were preserved until
the beginning of 14th century. The only part that has survived from the monastery's original structure is the ossuary,
which has a specific architectural design and ancient frescoes (11-12th c.), and is situated 300 m away from the
contemporary monastery complex. During the time of the Second Bulgarian Empire, Bachkovo Monastery was patronized
by Tsar Ivan Aleksandar, which is evidenced by an image of him on the arches of the ossuary's narthex.
