The Buinovo Gorge

The Buinovo gorge is situated alongside the Trigrad gorge, on both sides of the Buinova River, an affluent of the Vacha River. The river crossing the majestic gorge forms picturesque waterfalls. The high, almost sheer rocks are so close in their upper parts that it seems easy to leap to the other side. Local people call the narrowest part of the gorge the Wolf jump. One of Bulgaria’s most beautiful caves – the Yagodinska cave is located in the upper part of the gorge. The cave is a five-level labyrinth with a total length of 10 km and is one of the deepest caves in Bulgaria. The biggest attractions in the cave are the cave pearls and the limestone formations that rose under processes developing for thousands of years. Each year the New Year’s hall in the Yagodinska cave attract many tourists willing to spend the New Year’s Eve in an unusual and extremely beautiful atmosphere. Near the cave some Enaeolithic settlements have been found.
