Belogradchik, Bulgaria (by Maik)

Step into the ancient walls of Belogradchik Fortress, where history echoes against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty 🏰 !.

Belogradchik Rocks // Bulgaria 🇧🇬

We’re getting braver and braver. As I was leaving the village of Belogradchik, I saw these beautiful red rocks in the distance. I thought, why don’t I ride there? As I turned off the main road which was asphalt, the road became gravel, which later became dried mud which then turned into sand. Okay. My first time riding in sand. Super soft, tires just sink and veer wherever they want. So sketchy. As I was getting the hang of it, trees started to surround me and there were more and more forks in the road. Having a bad memory, I decided not to go further as I didn’t want to get lost. Baby steps and adding more and more off roading experience under my belt. Small steps eventually turn to big strides when we turn back and see how far we’ve come. Happy Wednesday y’all.

SOFIA BOTEVGRAD VRATSA MIHAILOVGRAD BELOGRADCHIK VIDIN (215 km)

This route gives you yet another opportunity – to pass through the Isker Gorge by taking the road through Svoge and continuing from Mezdra to Vratsa (instead of going via Botevgrad). This variant will enable you, with a slight turning along a side-road at Elisseina (about 9 km), to see the picturesque Sedemte Prestola (Seven Thrones) Monastery, and a little further on to Mezdra – the Cherepish Monastery, too. Near Vratsa is the well-known Ledenika Cave, which has been modernized and made accessible for tourists. Further on, you arrive at the centre of the September 1923 Uprising, the first anti-fascist uprising in the world: Mihailovgrad, which is rapidly developing and assuming the aspect of a modern town. Then on to Belogradchik and the famous Belogradchik Rocks. A side-road from Dimovo will take you to the Rabisha Gave with its rock paintings dating from the Bronze Age. The terminal point of this route is Vidin, which was known in Roman times as Bononi’a and in the Middle Ages as Bdin. Nearby, the fortress walls and the bastion of the Baba Vida Fortress have been preserved to this day.

Dear colleague and Jriend,

You will be surprised. For my summer vacation I did not take the usual road to ‘myy javourite Pyrenees, but to the Black Sea again tour bulgaria.

Do you remember my studies in connection with the relations between the Bogomils and the Cathari jrom Southern France? Thanks to them I discovered Bulgaria. When I came back home I talked so much about this country7 and its remarkable achievements that my husband decided he wanted to come, too…

WHY COME TO BULGARIA

You have probably been to other interesting places with rich traditions in the field of international tourism. But we do not doubt that after visiting Bulgaria, you, too, will join the hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists who have come, seen and been conquered by it. In fact, Bulgaria won fame as a country of in-ternational tourism only very recently and the number of foreign tourists who visit it has grown with every passing year to reach the current figure of more than 2.6 million. The only explanation for this rapidly growing popularity is the rare combination of civilized pleasures and scenic beauty, of the seaside and mountain resorts and the unique historical and cultural monuments, some of which date back more than 40,000 years. In Bulgaria there are more than 500 mineral springs and 2,000 caves, among which is also the Rabisha Cave, on whose walls one can see paintings made by primitive man in the Bronze Age. The original Bulgarian culture is well represented at Pliska and Preslav, Boy an a and the Rila Monastery, Turnovo and Koprivshtitsa, Plovdiv and Karlovo, Elena and Zheravna.
