Village Cherven

Средновековният Червен се намира на 35 км южно от Русе. До село Червен

Cherven was one of the largest military-administrative, economic and church-cultural centers of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom (12th-14th centuries) and an important road stop on the roads from the Danube River to the interior of the country, and from 1235 it became the seat of the Cherven Metropolitanate. Several rock monasteries were founded in its vicinity. At that time, the fortress was the ancestral domain of Georgi Terter and was considered the second most important settlement in the Bulgarian state after Tsarevets. The city grew as a large trading and craft settlement, and a castle was built - the property of the Cherven boyar. Coins were also minted in the city, which once again emphasizes its importance. The boyar's palace, representing a fortress within a fortress, is also quite impressive. It consists of a two-story residential building, a small church and a steep staircase cut into the bare rock, leading to an underground water source, vital in case of siege. The four preserved bastions are also noteworthy. Three of them are on perpetual duty near the eastern fortress wall - the most easily accessible, therefore the best fortified. The fourth bastion - originally a gate, later turned into a defensive tower, rises lonely but majestically above the western fortress wall. The locals believed that additional protection for the city was provided by the churches built into the fortress walls, a large part of the foundations of which are visible to visitors today. Also noteworthy is the lavish decoration of two of the sixteen churches discovered so far on the territory of the city - churches No. 1 and No. 2 - metropolitan, and the rest - parish. During this period, thanks to the natural fortification of the fortress, the fertile land and the key location associated with the passage of many important trade routes, the population of Cherven grew sharply. That is why the so-called "outer" city was established - for the common people and merchants, and the "inner" city - the citadel, for the high-ranking inhabitants of the city and administrative buildings. Although silent, the fortress has made us famous by taking part in the landscape of an episode of one of the most popular series - Game of Thrones. It appears in the distance in shots from episode 10 of season 5, when Varys meets Tyrion Lannister. You can combine your walk to the Medieval fortress city of Cherven with exploring the other sights in the Rusenski Lom Natural Park, you can also visit several other places located nearby. We advise you to visit: Lipnik Forest Park, Bessarabovski Monastery, Gramovets Rock Monastery Complex, Kale Adzhamka Fortress and many others.

City Primorsko

Бегликташ е разположен на Българското Черноморие на 3 km от гр. Приморско и 40 km от гр. Бургас в полите на планината Странджа.

Begliktash sundial, calendar and temple. Mysticism of millennia Only 3 km. northeast of Primorsko, on the ridge of Maslen Nos or where Strandzha Mountain embraces the seashore, the megalithic rock Thracian sanctuary "Begliktash" is hidden. It is the largest imprint left by the Thracians on our southern Black Sea coast, which became known to science only in 2003. Begliktash is compared and called the "Bulgarian Stonehenge" not only because it represents specifically arranged stones in a circle on a rock surface, but also because of the functions that it is believed to have performed, namely - a sundial, calendar and temple. Archaeologists suggest that it was created around the 14th century BC and functioned until the 4th century. Another reason why scientists believe that the Thracian sanctuary was magical, and perhaps still hides its magic, is its location next to the ancient city of Ranuli. Although the area of ​​Valkov Egrek has been explored since its discovery to this day, archaeologists have not yet revealed the entire mysticism called Begliktash. Here, the Thracians paid their respects to the God - Sun and the Goddess - Mother. This is evidenced by the preserved "marriage bed" of the two deities, as on both sides there are two sacrificial monoliths with carved chutes, where the ancient Thracians poured the ritual liquids - wine, milk and olive oil. A little further up the rock path is the rock throne of the God - Sun or the so-called "Step of God", from which a view of the entire sanctuary opens. Just on the opposite side is the "Step of the Goddess". It cannot be denied that the ancient sanctuary has its own energy. It is believed that only a person with a pure and intact soul can pass through the “path of trial” – namely, a labyrinth formed by a system of rock corridors. There is a legend that says that these rock corridors are the way to the kingdom of Hades. It is said that the Thracian singer Orpheus passed through the labyrinth to save his beloved from the underworld. The Thracian sanctuary continues to be studied by both amateur archaeologists and historians, as well as scientists. Perhaps one day all the mysteries will be revealed, but until then the mystical sanctuary remains famous – as the place where the Sun kisses the rocks, the mountain merges with the sea, and the air is filled with positive energy. I believe that the Megalithic complex in the village of Liliach and Begliktash have something in common and are similar in many ways. Anyone can visit both and make a comparison. To make this comparison you will have to travel around Bulgaria, but it will help you enjoy Bulgarian cuisine and unforgettable nature. The village of Lilyach is located 4 km from Nevestino Municipality, Kyustendil Region
