Route - Cave Lepenitsa

Cave Lepenitsa is located 4 kilometers from the city of Belogradchik in the area called Markashnitsa. It is considered to be part of the natural phenomenon of the Belogradchik rocks and probably its age is close to that of the rock formations. Like the Cave Magurata, it is horizontal and open for transitions in the depths of the earth, and the entrance chamber is crossed into two floors. According to calculations, the cave is between 800 and 8500 years old, and the oldest artifacts found in it are about 7000 years old. Cave Lepenitsa is inhabited by prehistoric people, which can be judged from the discovered vessels, clay, bones and other findings. On the way to the cave, and in the whole surrounding area, you can see solar circles, carved into the rocks. Next to the entrance of Lepenitza is a small hut, made entirely of natural materials, modeled according to the ancient prehistoric dwellings. After a steep descent by ATV and a short walk, you reach the cave. The two entrances are located one above the other. The red-colored rocks and the beautiful views create the individuality of cave Lepenitsa. 

The tour takes around 1 hour. The level of difficulty - medium.
