Peshketo is a rock labyrinth by the village of Lilyache in Vratsa municipality. It is a karst feature of about 400 m², a tangle of galleries, passages, small caves, niches, rock bridges, arches, shafts and potholes carved by the Lilyashka Bara stream. It resembles the nearby God's Bridge, but it is much smaller.
The labyrinth is about 700 m east of the centre of Lilyache. A short path starts at the edge of the village and follows the stream to it.
Archaeological work in the Peshketo through-cave has found traces of people from the end of the Old Stone Age. Local legend says the place was used for rituals in ancient times.
God's Bridge is about 2 km away, and the two together make a half day. The Ponora water cave near Chiren is in the same karst area.
