- Devetashka Cave - Begin an adventurous day with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Sofia, followed by a picturesque two-and-a-half-hour drive to the first destination: the stunning Devetaki Cave. This enormous, naturally illuminated cavern boasts a rich history. It was once inhabited by prehistoric humans, later used as a Roman food storage site, and even served as a secret military base during the Cold War. Movie enthusiasts may recognize its majestic arches from the Hollywood film The Expendables 2.
- Krushunskiye Waterfalls - The journey continues to the enchanting Krushuna Waterfalls, the largest travertine cascade in Bulgaria. Renowned for its emerald-blue pools and verdant forest surroundings, the falls are a breathtaking sight throughout the year. Even in summer, when water levels naturally decrease, the vibrant, moss-covered rock terraces remain a stunning spectacle.
- Lovech - After building up an appetite, the tour proceeds to the historic town of Lovech for a delightful local lunch. The exploration of the town’s attractions begins with a stroll across the renowned 19th-century Covered Bridge—the only one of its kind in the Balkans. The tour concludes with a climb to the impressive Medieval Fortress, offering panoramic views of the city and river below. Rich in history and unforgettable scenery, the day ends with a relaxing drive back, with drop-off at your Sofia accommodation in the evening.

Enjoyable tour and worth the drive - It was a lovely experience. Ivan, our tour guide, was very kind and knowledgeable. I recommend booking this tour with Bultrips over other companies, because you will be in a relatively small group and it’s more comfortable. The cave and waterfalls are stunning and are definitely worth the drive! Lovech is a nice town, with scenic views of the covered bridge. There is also an interesting contrast of architecture in Lovech, with buildings from both the Revival period and Communist era. We ate in a restaurant in the old neighborhood of Varosha, which is very quaint. Lastly, the views from the medieval fortress are beautiful and a good opportunity for photos.

Rainy day out but a good experience. - We has an early pick up by our driver/guide on the 8th. Unfortunately it was a rainy day. The Devetaki cave is huge and has an interesting history during cold war days, used as a fuel dump. Very little signs of this remains. We moved on to the Krushuna waterfalls and due to two days of rain was quite spectacular. Unlike the photograph advertised torrents of brown water was pouring down the falls. This did prevent us taking a circular walk as the small bridge/platform that we should have crossed was covered by the torrent of water.
On arriving at Lovech we crossed the covered bridge which originally was constructed in the late 19th century. The present bridge is much recent as it had to be rebuilt due the a fire in 1925. We had a one hour break for lunch. After lunch the guide took us up through the old town to the fortress for a view over Lovech and back down to our car through a different part of the old town. Our guide/driver was well informed and took us through the history of Bulgaria and the places we visited. It was a pleasure to have the guide we had on the day, very approachable and friendly. The only thing that dampened the experience was the rain on the day.

We went on this trip on... - We went on this trip on Sep 15 with Ivo. He picked us up on time. His car was spacious and clean and he even offered us some water, as it was supposed to be a very hot day.
He was a very safe and calm driver and very good guide. Maybe a little softspoken, but very knowledgeable.
The Devetaki Cave was absolutely fascinating, the Krushuna Falls were beautiful, we enjoyed our time in Lovech and had a really great time overall.
After our trip on the day before was rather an ordeal, we were so lucky to have Ivo as our guide this time around and were extremely impressed with how beautiful and diverse Bulgarias landscape and history is.

Absolutely stunning. Covered Bridge cos of plentiful shops. Only comment is awareness of the 2hr journey to get there. Plenty of stops for biobreaks n snacks. All in all ...superb.
