The three Sofia cave explorers, who were blocked in the Duhlata cave near the town of Pernik, were rescued on Tuesday, Darik News reported.

The three men had to spend two nights in the cave. After 40 hours inside, while they struggled to get out, but the high level of the underground waters would not let them do so, Yasen Tonchev, Dimitar Petrov and Gerasim Lekov were rescued around 3 am.

Luckily all three of the young men are safe. They entered the cave around 11 am on Sunday to explore the place. Their research had to end around 7 pm and an hour later they had to go out of the place. After they failed to do so, their colleagues from the cave rescue service formed a searching party.

According to preliminary information the three people were blocked inside the cave after a landslide occurred and made a threshold too high to be passed over.
