Ledenika Cave

Ledenika is a cave located 16 kilometers from Vratsa, Bulgaria, in the Northwestern Balkan Mountains. Its entrance is located at an elevation of roughly 830 meters above sea level. There are numerous galleries and magnificent karst formations, including stalactites and stalagmites, throughout the cave. It was discovered at the turn of the twentieth century and has been open to visitors since 1961. In honor of the cave's cultural significance, Ledenika Peak on Graham Land in Antarctica was named after it.

The cave is around 300 meters long and has ten different chambers. Visitors enter the Concert Hall from the Antechamber, then travel through many smaller corridors. Visitors then travel through a series of smaller hallways before arriving at the White House.

The Great Temple is the largest gallery, with a ceiling height of 15 meters (50 ft). Although the Concert Hall is smaller, it contains numerous stalactites and stalagmites. Icicles may form on the ceiling during the winter. The cave's name, which translates as ice or glacial in English, is supposed to have been inspired by the quantity of icicles in the winter.
