The rock arch its up to 56 meters tall and reaches 260 meters in length. Originated in the Quaternary Era, Bulgaria constitutes a true paradise for caving enthusiasts because there are almost two and a half hundred caverns registered. The cave is a magical place in all aspects.Waterfalls that fall through the “eyes” when it rains and that have created the metaphor of "divine crying". Or the fantastic night vision of the full moon through these openings. If you want to admire the nature and see the "Eyes of God", this is a must-visit place!
Krushuna waterfalls- One of the top places to visit when exploring the nature of Bulgaria. The hike goes through cascade of many water jumps.

We had a wonderful day with our guide Vess. Super friendly. We saw beautifull caves and nature. We also had a very nice meal with him and lovely conversations. One of the best guides we ever had. 12 out of 10. Really recommend getting a tour with him
We decided to take this tour last minute and we do not regret taking it as we got to see some of the beautiful landscapes Bulgaria has to offer. From amazing caves to a beautiful waterfall. V was also a great guide who was personable and provided great food recommendations. Highly recommend taking this tour
Definitely worth visiting! Views are fantastic! Kids enjoyed so much. Thanks a lot to our tour guide Iva! We had a great time!
Great personal tour! Our guide was Marin and he was very nice and spoke fluent Bulgarian, English, and German, although he only used the first two with us as we were the only family that signed up for the trip. He gave honest and great information about the sites we visited as well as some of the more notable towns we drove through. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who enjoys breathtaking views of caves and waterfalls. The hikes are relatively short along well traveled paths but they can get slippery so be careful of your footing, especially if you have people in your group that are very young or elderly.
The caves were amazing. Very beautiful and unique. The water fall was very nice. At this time of year, it is small, would be bigger in the spring, but we still really enjoyed it. A couple things to know: the toilets at the water fall are quite primitive. Bring your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Also, our guide was very nice and very attentive to our needs but was only a driver—not a guide. He had no knowledge of the attractions or history of what we are seeing so you might read up on it before you go.
An absolutely amazing day we will cherish in our memories. Our guide made the day so full telling us so much about the history, nature and life in Bulgaria and took us to incredible natural sights that we would have never found ourselves if we rented a car. We highly recommend this trip, it was excellent value. We felt lucky to have such an amazing guide too - Georgi was super friendly, knowledgeable and fun. A huge thanks to him for looking after my family and I for the day and giving us a wonderful experience.
Absolutely amazing day and experience with our friendly, knowledgeable and fun guide. Our guide really made the day rich with sharing so much about life in Bulgaria and history, and also being a top class story-teller. The God's Eyes Cave is a very special place. We highly recommend this tour and guide.
It was just me who booked for the trip in that particular day, but the agengy arrange a private tour just for me with a tour guide to make this memory happen. Unfortunately I couldnt go to the trip because i got sick 2 days befor the trip and I had to cansel it. But I will send My special thanks to the agency for all they have done.
Alex was an excellent guide. He was full of useful information and made great recommendations. He even took photos of us. The waterfall was closed off due to a fallen tree, so we hiked 30 minutes into the woods for nothing. But Devetashka was breathtaking and the Eyes of God cave was really cool also. We went during the week, so there were very few tourists and no crowds. The only reason why I didn’t give the tour 5 stars is because there was 5 of us in one small sedan that was old and smelled strongly of diesel fuel. Other than the transportation and the closed waterfall, it was the highlight of my Bulgarian vacation!
This was an amazing experience, Everything i was so Beautiful as well as the locations were spectacular. We did have a private tour and really enjoyed it. I proposed. 😏
