Fantastic nature. Absolutely true to call this place one of the world wonders. I've also had an amazing guide, that told me all legends and histories about this place. You gonna come back to Belogradchik Rocks again and again.

It was a 3 long hours drive from Sofia but it's worth it. If you love nature then this a must see while in Bulgaria. The panoramic views are fantastic and the formation of different rocks are amazing. My bad because I totally forgot my guide's name sorry!. She introduced herself when she picked me up from the hotel. She's awesome and very informative. Thanks for sharing this wonderful nature to me. I'm glad that I chose this tour.

This was an almost 10 hour tour where again we were not stopped to stretch our legs. When we arrived after about 4 hours of continuous travelling we were quite jammed. There are many rocks which were probably formed by the wind during millions of years. If you are interested in rock formation by the wind don't miss it otherwise forget it as it is not worth the trouble. You could spend the day somewhere more interesting.

Excellent tour to an amazing fortress. Lots of climbing and great views. Methodiy was a knowledgeable and informative guide.

Thomas S, Oct 2015

Die Felsen und die Festung würden sofort 5 Sterne bekommen, ebenso Stojan als Reiseführer. Den Stern Abzug gibt es einzig und allein dafür, dass Belogradchick viel zu weit von Sofia für einen Tagesausflug entfernt ist rund 250 km einfach, was insgesamt bei bulgarischen Straßen eine Fahrzeit von mehr als 7 Stunden für Hin- und Rückfahrt bedeutet.
