Itinerary
Belintash
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeBelintash is an ancient Thracian religious sanctuary likely used as a solar observatory and for ritualistic purposes. It is the second largest such sanctuary in Bulgaria. The mountain rocks upon which it stands have been carved into shapes resembling the heads of gods and animals. The head of the god Sabazios faces east, towards the rising sun. The nature of this sanctuary is steeped in legend and mystery, and historians have theorized about its significance for centuries. The view from the top is breathtaking - forest-covered mountain slopes spreading as far as the eye can see, with a clear view of the other two attractions on this excursion, Karadzhov Rock and "Holy Trinity" Cross Forest.The Karadzhov Boulder
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeKaradzhov Rock is an ancient Thracian sanctuary in the Rhodopes, near the Belintash sanctuary. It takes the shape of a large rounded boulder caught between two imposing rocks. This was the site of religious rituals in pre-historic times. Numerous fragments of ceramic vessels have been discovered under the boulder, the oldest of which date back to the early Iron Age."Holy Trinity" Cross Forest
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeKrastova Gora (“Crucifix Forest” or "Holy Trinity" Cross Forest) is a place known for its miraculous power and healing properties. Tens of thousands of pilgrims visit it every year seeking help from its miracle-working cross or simply to get in touch with their spiritual side. According to the legends, centuries ago below the mountain peak there was a monastery in which a fragment of the Holy Cross was kept. Recently, two churches and 12 chapels were built in this holy place, each with its own history and folk tales surrounding it.
