The day opens on a cool highway out of Sofia, the city shrinking behind you as karst ridges and pastoral valleys take over. After a two-and-a-half-hour drive the world changes: a massive, sunlit mouth of Devetashka Cave yawns into a chamber big enough to swallow a cathedral, while moss-green pools at Krushuna drip and terrace like a living staircase.
