The rocks of Belogradchik

Scroll

01. Descriere

The rock formations near the village are considered the most famous natural tourist attractions in Bulgaria. The area where they are spread is very large, about 30 km long and between 3 and 5 km wide. However, the largest and most beautiful of these wonderful creations of nature are on the hills on the outskirts of Belogradchik. Geological studies have shown that at the end of the Paleozoic this region was invaded by the sea, on the bottom of which were deposited sand, gravel and clay. The intense reddish color comes from iron oxide and hydroxide. As a result of the ice age, this rocky complex rose above the water, following a natural erosion process that led to the strange rocks we can see today, formed over millions of years. Through the action of the water and the wind, amazing shapes, animal figures, human figures or mythological creatures have been born, and each rock has a legend behind it that tries to explain its shape and beauty.
