Devetàshka cave (the name in Bulgarian: Devetashka peshtera) is huge karst cave in Bulgaria, known for its long term occupancy for human and other type biological populations during extensive historical periods. It is also home to nearly 30,000 bats. Devetashka cave is located 15 km northeast of Lovech and approximately 2 km from the village of Devetaki. To reach the cave one can walk along a narrow path by the river, starting from the village of Devetaki, or access it directly from Road 301 via a 400 m-long dirt road and concrete bridge, constructed in 2011 for the filming of The Expendables 2. Large numbers of bats were displaced from the cave. By late 2012, the majority of the bats had returned to the cave. Source
