Museum of Speleology & Karst

Plovdiv & Southern Mountains


Minerals, bottled bats, and the remains of ancient cave-dwelling animals such as lions and bears are exhibited in this small museum, along with displays on the Trigrad and Yagodina caves. Geologists might be gripped, but casual visitors should note that most explanation is in Bulgarian only.

Find it in the Hotel Pesternika building, on the hillside across the river from the tourist office.
