Sights and attractions in the regions:
The Chiprovtsi Monastery is located at the foot of Yazova Mountain, 6 km from Chiprovtsi and 30 km from Montana. Access to it is extremely easy as you can drive right up to the monastery itself. Built in the 10th century by the Bulgarian Catholics, a total of six fires and destructions are recorded in the annals of the monastery.
- Belogradchik rocks are located near the town of Belogradchik. They represent rock groups and single rocks with unique shapes. They are natural formations, and in some places they are over 200 metres high. The rocks are characterised by their red colour which is a result of the iron compounds in them. More than 100 caves are hidden among the bizarre formations.
The formation of the cave Magura began about 15 million years ago. It is one of the largest caves in Bulgaria with the total length of the discovered galleries totalling to about 2,500 metres. Protected by UNESCO as a natural landmark, the cave resembles an underground cathedral and is one of the brightest tourist attractions in Eastern Europe. What makes it truly unique are the extremely well-preserved ancient drawings that have no analogues not only in Bulgaria.
