During your tour, the guide will share some of these stories, pointing out the specific formations along the way. You'll also have the opportunity to explore the medieval Belogradchik Fortress, perched on a hill near the rocks. Originally constructed during the Roman Empire, this historic site boasts a well-preserved and imposing facade.

The trip also includes a visit to the nearby Venetsa Cave. Renowned for its striking natural formations, this cave is further enhanced by modern, colourful lighting, making it a sight not to be missed. This day trip offers an opportunity to explore some of Bulgaria's natural wonders in one day.
