Introducing Belogradchik
The crisp mountain air and the weird and wonderful rock formations rising from a lonely hill are what draw visitors to little Belogradchik, on the eastern edge of the Stara Planina mountain range. Although somewhat forlorn, with its eternal quietude and a few rusting reminders of communist industry, Belogradchik’s charms are starting to attract more visitors, with guesthouses and even a four-star hotel now under construction. Nevertheless, it’s still a somewhat ornery, out-of-the-way place, where time moves slowly, even in summer.

However, if visiting Belogradchik in June, check out the town festival in honour of patron St Peter, which brings well-known Bulgarian singers, dancing, folklore and copious amounts of food and drink to the town from 25 to 30 June.
