Belogradchik
The small Bulgarian town of Belogradchik is surrounded by unusual rock formations of all shapes and sizes. Some are 200 meters high. Others are human-sized, red, grey, yellow or brown in color.
Some of these bizarre formations have gained their own names over time, along with legends describing love, lost time, suffering and many more stories.
Among the most famous Belogradchik Rocks are the Adam and Eve, the rider, the nun, the student, the lion and the bear.
This is a place where you can let your imagination run wild.
Magura Cave
25 km from Belogradchik is Magura Cave, the site of prehistoric wall paintings.
Closely resembling those of Grotta dei Cervi in Italy, the artwork is part of a series of underground galleries, halls and chambers. The largest of these – the Arc Hall – is 128 meters long and 21 meters high.
The paintings date from the early Bronze Age right back to the Epipaleolithic in the Stone Age some 10 000 years ago.
