Fodor's Expert Review Magura Cave

Belogradchik Cave

One of the Europe's best preserved, post-Palaeolithic painted caves is located just 20 km (12.4 miles) from Belogradchik, near the small village of Rabisha. Running 2.5 km (1.5 miles), the 15-million-year-old Magura Cave's walls are decorated with detailed cave paintings of people, hunting scenes, geometric shapes, and animals; these are believed to be exclusive to the Balkans. The cave is wide and its ceilings tall, making it quite comfortable to walk through–especially because the year-round temperature is 11–12°C.
