The Devil’s Throat is situated right next to the famous Trigrad Gorge and just a couple of kilometres away from Shiroka Laka Village, an architectural and folklore reserve in the Rhodope Mountains. Essentially, it is a pit cave where one can see the highest cave waterfall on the Balkan Peninsula as well as the Roaring Hall – a 110 m-long, 35 m-high and 40 m-wide cave chamber which has been carved by the relentless falling water. Many a legend was bequeathed to us by the ancient peoples who used to inhabit these lands thousands of years ago: the most popular one of all claims that the Devil’s Throat was the cave which led Orpheus to the Underground Kingdom where he tried to save his beloved Eurydice.
