Duhlata cave <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Duhlata is the longest cave in Bulgaria, with a total length of 18 km. It is located in the southwestern part of Vitosha, next to the village of Bosnek. It is a complex cave system on six floors with multiple entrances. Its name comes from the sound that the wind makes at its entrance. 7 underground rivers flow through it, most likely connected to the Struma River. They collect their waters and spring into the karst spring "Gornata Cheshma". Duhlata has 6 cave levels and many beautiful halls with limestone formations and lakes. Access is only possible with an experienced guide and after appropriate training. The labyrinthine nature of the cave makes it dangerous for unprepared tourists. 22 species of animals live in Duhlata, 6 of which are bats. To preserve the rare fragile formations, the entrance to the cave is closed.<\/p>\n
