About Devetashka Cave

Devetashka Cave is a large karst cave near the village of Devetaki, on the east bank of the Osam river, about 15 km north-east of Lovech. Its main hall is enormous and lit by openings in the roof, through which light falls on the cave floor.

The cave was occupied by humans for tens of thousands of years and is now home to about 30,000 bats. Its scale has made it a film location, including for The Expendables 2.
