Karlukovo

The area is access sensitive!

To ensure the safety of everyone, when climbing during the weekends, climbers are urged to avoid the sectors that are close to the path, namely: Pop folk (East entrance - left side), Nepobedim (Middle part - right side), Kak shte gi stignem (Middle part - left side) , and El Choro (West entrance - left side). Instead use the sectors: Hip Hop (East entrance - right side), Black Metal (Entrance part - right side), North (Entrance part - right side) - without the section with "Pchelichkata Maya", and Podaruk(outside the cave).
