Overview

Visit the Bulgarian town of Belogradchik on this guided, full-day, minibus tour from Sofia. Just 180 kilometers north of Sofia, nature has sculpted the amazing Belogradchik rocks, a group of strange shaped sandstone and conglomerate rock formations. The view from the old fortress of the fascinating formations is breathtaking. Use some imagination and visions of 'the Rabbit,' 'Adam and Eve,' 'the Ice-Age Squirrel,' 'the Rebel' and many more can be seen. On the way back to Sofia, visit a beautiful cave called Venetsa (aka the Wreath).
Important information: Due to landslide Venetsa cave will be closed till March. In exchange Magurata cave will be visited.

Had a lovely time walking round the rocks and fortress. The cave was incredible-- the little sleeping bats were very cute

We were a nice small group of 7. Stefan was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable, well-spoken, explained things intelligibly and didn't talk for the sake of talking, which gave us time to digest the information and the sites. Belogradchik is spectacular. We went on a busy day. I would recommend going during the week and not on a national holiday. Regardless, it's worth seeing not only for the historical significance, but also for the 360 views and rare rock formations. The Venetsa cave boasts magnificent calcite formations illuminated by colored lights. On the return, we stopped at a roadside stand with berries handpicked by a village family, with whom we had a lovely conversation. In all, a worthy experience!
