From Sofia: Belogradchik Rocks Full-Day Tour

About this tour

Go on a day trip to Bulgaria’s northwest to see the Belogradchik rocks, which are situated in the Balkan Mountains. You will drive 2.5 to 3 hours from Sofia until you reach this area. The rocks are grouped in various formations and are made up of primarily sandstone. They were proposed as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in 2009.

Many rocks have unique features and are associated with interesting legends. They are often named for people or objects they are thought to resemble, and on your tour, your guide might share some of these stories while pointing out the specific rocks and their names. The Belogradchik Rocks, a popular destination for tourists in the area, have also been designated a Natural Landmark by the Bulgarian government.

The Belogradchik Fortress, which was constructed during the Roman Empire’s rule over the area, is located at the summit of a hill close to some of the rocks. You will have the chance to visit the fortress and see its impressively kept and foreboding exterior. Later on, you will also be escorted to the stunning Veneca cave nearby, which has contemporary, vibrant lighting.

There will be time to pause for an optional lunch, which is not included in the price, and all entrance fees are included in the total cost.
