     Prohodna is a karst cave in north central Bulgaria, located in the Iskar Gorge

    near the village of Karlukovo in Lovech Province. The cave is known for the two
    eye-like holes in its ceiling, known as God's eyes. Prohodna is the best-known
    attraction in the Karlukovo Gorge (part of the Iskar geological park) one of the
    largest karst regions in Bulgaria and a popular location for speoleogy (study of
    caves and other karst features).

     Prohodna was formed roughly 2.5 to 3 million years. It’s 262 meters long which
    makes it the longest cave passage in Bulgaria. The cave has two entrances
    which lie opposite one another, known respectively as the Small Entrance and
    the Big Entrance. The Small one reaches 35 meters in height and the Big one
    between 42 and 45 meters in height.

     The cave owes its name, which literally means Thoroughfare Cave or Passage


    Cave, to this feature. The size of the Big Entrance of Prohodna makes it suitable
    for bungee jumping, and it is among the popular spots in Bulgaria for that
    activity. There are traces of prehistoric habitation in the Prohodna cave, which
    testify that humans lived in the cave during the Neolithic and Chalcolithic.

     Prohodna is most notable for the two equal-sized holes in the ceiling of its middle
    chamber. The holes, formed through erosion, let in light into the cave. The
    formation is popularly known as God's eyes. The phenomenon was featured in
    the 1988 Bulgarian film Time of Violence - in the scene, a priest named Aligorko
    prays below the Eyes.
