Hiking Highlight
Recommended by 5 hikers
Tourists are often transported by jeep between Jagodina and the cave of the same name in the valley. A loudspeaker system with impressive folk tunes from the Rhodope Mountains is included. The noise of the engines of the jeeps and the powerful voice of Valya Balkanska create a relentless duel. Faint-hearted ears want to switch off. It is not for nothing that her voice is on the record that is attached to the outside of Voyager 1 to impress aliens. It's not worth tracking the satellite. It is already over 150 AU above our solar system (in north direction) on the edge of the heliospause. And Valya has long been on YouTube.
The path that leads from the village square of Jagodina in a westerly direction uphill for a short distance to the forest is beautiful and pleasantly quiet. It then continues fairly flat above the access road that has been blasted into the rock until it curves down into the southern canyon. Here you inevitably pass the viewing pavilion before you reach the entrance to the stalactite cave after a kilometer downhill.
