Snezhanka (Bulgarian: Снежанка, "Snow White") is a show cave in the Rhodope Mountains, southern Bulgaria.

The total length of the cave is 368 m long,[3] with its main gallery reaching 145 m.[2] Its area is 3,150 m2 Inside there is constant annual temperature of 8 °C.

[2] Despite its small size, the cave is rich in stalactites, stalagmites, draperies and sinter lakes.

In the Wonderful Hall, built by snow-white crystal sinter, nature has shaped a figure, often likened to the fairy-tale character Snow White, after which the cave was named.

[2] In the middle of the cave there are circular hearths, where animal bones and artifacts dating back to early Iron Age were discovered.
