Snezhanka is a rather small cave (only 145 m long), but it is exceptionally rich in speleothems. Elevation is 860 m, displacement 18. It is located 4km south-west of Peshtera on the left bank of the Novomahalenska river (Western Rhodopes).
It is named after a stalagmite in the Magic Hall, which is snow white and resembles a woman’s figure (snow white). In the last chamber there are some 10 to 20cm long curtains which sound when they are hit softly. Still, in order to avoid breaking them, it is better that you let the guide do this. Moreover, he knows which ones sound best.
In excavations that took place soon after the cave was discovered officially (1961), remains of Thracian cave-dwelling were discovered in the Big Hall and the Dwelling - bones, pieces of earthenware, made without the use of aotter’s wheel.
