Belogradchik Rocks are situated just next to the town of Belogradchik. They are acessible on foot, hiking and camping in the area is possible. There is a number of guesthouses in the town, fresh air, and great local food.
The formation of the Belogradchik Rocks started during the Permian period, about 230 million years ago.
Rock figures and small valleys with steep vertical slopes have formed over hundreds of millions of years as a result of the natural processes of denudation, errosion, growth of mosses and lichens, and other natural factors.
Belogradchik Rocks have been declared a Natural Landmark by central government.
