The Magura Cave is located in northeastern Bulgaria, 17 km from Belogradchik. It is one of the largest and most beautiful caves in Bulgaria. The Magura cave was formed in the limestone Rabisha Hill. It consists of the main gallery and three side branches. The overall length of the cave is approximately 2500 meters. According to geological studies, The Magura Cave began to take shape about 15 million years ago. In one of the caverns prehistoric paintings have been discovered, carved into the walls and decorated with bat guano. The paintings depict the silhouettes of women, men dancing and hunting, people wearing masks, animals, stars, tools, and plants. The paintings date from different eras: the early Paleolithic, the Neolithic, the later Neolithic, and the beginning of the Bronze Age. A solar calendar from the late Neolithic found there is the earliest solar calendar discovered in Europe. The cave offers one of the richest collections of geological formations, of all shapes and sizes, stalactites, stalagmites, columns, Geodesic formations, cave pearls, and flows of cave milk.
