Devil's Throat Cave

Among the majestic nature of the Rhodopes, only about an hour's drive from Grand Hotel Murgavecin Pamporovo, hides one of the most impressive natural attractions in Bulgaria — Devil's Throat Cave. This place captivates with its spectacular underground beauty, mystical legends and cool coziness, which is especially appreciated on hot summer days.

What to expect when visiting?

As soon as you cross the threshold of the Devil's Throat, you will be captivated by the feeling of adventure. The waterfall inside the cave, one of the highest underground waterfalls in the Balkans, roars powerfully and creates a mystical atmosphere. The visit is relatively light, but involves climbing and descending multiple steps, so be prepared for moderate physical activity.

Particularly impressive is the Great Hall, a huge underground space where the roar of water merges with echoes of fairy tales and legends. Every drop of water, every rock formation carries the secrets of the Rhodopes.

Hidden treasures and atmosphere

The Devil's Throat is not just a geological wonder; the place holds ancient secrets and traditions that locals willingly share. Legends say that Orpheus descended here in an attempt to return his beloved Eurydice. And the feeling inside is like immersing yourself in another world — mystical, cool and deeply connected to nature and human dreams.

If you are fond of photography, get ready for unique shots — especially if you catch the play of light on water splashes and stone shapes. Be sure to listen to the restless murmur of the river — it is here that the waters mysteriously disappear underground, as if the Cave keeps its secrets only for the adventurous.
