Discover more about Тюленовата пещера

Тюленовата пещера, or Tyulenova Cave, is situated approximately 6 km from Primorsko, near Maslen Nos (Cape Maslen). This intriguing cave is veiled in mystery and local legends, most notably those concerning the legendary Bulgarian rebel, Valchan Voyvoda, and his hidden treasure. Historically, the cave is said to have been inhabited by a colony of seals, hence its name, which translates to "Seal Cave." According to local lore, the colony originated from a pair of seals released into the area by Queen Maria of Romania. In 1878, remains of a monk seal, likely the last one in the area, were discovered inside the cave. While sightings are rare, some claim seals can still be spotted in the waters around Tyulenovo to the north. Today, the cave is a popular destination for tourists seeking unique experiences along the Black Sea coast. Reaching the cave is an adventure in itself, as it is only accessible by boat, typically a taxi boat from the Primorsko quay. The journey offers stunning views of the rugged coastline and the open sea. For those who prefer hiking, an eco-path from Beglik Tash leads to Maslen Nos, combining forest trails with panoramic sea views.
