Prohodna cave known also as God's eyes cave.

It is a very impressive natural monument near Kurilo village. Closer town is Lukovit. 2h drive from Sofia on North East. Mostly highway.

There is no entrance fee. Parking lot is a open field so you have a plenty of space. No additional layers of clothing are needed for cave visiting. Small kids can handle the cave trail. The cave itself has entrance and exit. But that exit leads to a small saxatile monastery. We have not been able to reach it because there were no good signs which trail to pick and other visitors who were going back to the cave told us it was unpleasant experience. So that means you enter the cave and get out from and same place. The cave itself is remarkable and very memorable. There are not neither restaurant nor fast food corners. The toilettets are sort of movable plastic cabines so please do not expect good hygiene. Nearby souvenirs there will be as well as small farmers' production like honey and jams.

In my opinion is...

A Natural Masterpiece – Truly the Eyes of God! Absolutely breathtaking! Prohodna Cave is one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders I've ever visited. The two symmetrical openings in the ceiling — famously called the “Eyes of God” — create an atmosphere that’s both spiritual and surreal. When sunlight shines through, it feels like you're being watched by the heavens. The cave itself is easy to access, with a short walk from the parking area, and there’s no entrance fee. You can walk through the whole cave in about 20–30 minutes, but take your time — it’s worth soaking in the view from all angles. Bonus: if you're into adrenaline, there's bungee jumping from the large entrance (only on certain days). Rock climbers also use the area, but even for a casual visitor, this is a must-see. Tip: Wear sturdy shoes — it can be a bit slippery, especially after rain. Definitely one of Bulgaria’s hidden gems. Don't miss it if you're in the region!
