Ledenika Cave

Ledenika Cave is situated at a distance of 16 km from the town of Vratsa, in the territory of Vrachanski Balkan Natural Park. The cave is situated 830 m above the sea level in the north-west Stresherski section of the Vratsa mountain.

Ledenika was opened to visitors in 1961, and in 2005 its infrastructure was entirely renovated. 53 species live inside it, among which is the insect Light-hater, which has adapted so well to the darkness, that if it goes out in the light, it dies.

Its name, Ledenika, comes from the icy stalagmites, stalactites and columns, which are formed during the winter at the beginning of the cave near the entrance.

There is a small, shallow sinter lake, which according to a belief fulfills the desire of everyone who puts their hand in it.
