Snejanka (Snow White) cave

The cave Snejanka is located in the Batashka mountain, in the Western Rhodopi, some 5 km southwest of the town of Peshtera. Though difficult to access, it is impressive for its incredibly beautiful glacial shapes. Remains of fireplaces, built by the primitive people have been found inside the cave, along with some stone ware, made by humans without the use of ceramic wheels. Scientists believe these remains are dated back to the time of the ancient Thracians. Snejanka’s area is very small, but it is divided into many halls, abundant in stalactites, stalagmites and various draperies. The name of the cave comes from a female figure, moulded by nature in one of the halls, called the Magic Hall.
