The Buynovsko Chine - Buynovska River Gorge is the longest one in Bulgaria. It is located between the villages of Yagodina and Teshel. Formed by erosion as the Buynovo River flows through layers of marble rock, the canyon developed into an impressive natural phenomenon. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon rise hundreds of meters. The narrowest gap between the cliffs is called “The Wolfs’ Leap” – local residents say that during winter wolves would leap the chasm to attack the sheepfolds. While this is only a legend, it is plain to see that the gorge is so narrow at this point that the cliffs practically touch. The limestone sediment has been eroded throughout the entire region; in the vicinity of the village of Yagodina alone, there are 36 caves, the most famous of which is the Yagodina Cave. It is the longest cave in the Rhodope Mountains at 8,051 meters, of which roughly 1½ kilometers is open to tourists. Near the Yagodina is the beautiful Sanchova Dupka Cave, with its many sinter lakes filled with cave pearls. However, tourists can only visit this cave with proper equipment and accompanied by a guide.
