What to expect

Discover the hidden natural and cultural treasures of Veliko Tarnovo and Northern Bulgaria on a full-day adventure that combines beautiful landscapes, extraordinary caves, waterfalls, and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The experience starts at Hotnitsa Waterfalls, a picturesque cascade set amid lush greenery. Follow the trails for a refreshing walk, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and capture striking views of the falls and forest scenery.

Continue to Orlova Chuka Cave, one of the country’s most unusual underground formations. Believed to have formed upside-down by thermal waters, it stands out for its dramatic natural architecture rather than classic stalactites, offering a fascinating geological spectacle.

The cultural centrepiece is the Ivanovo Rock Churches, carved into cliffs above the Rusenski Lom River during the 13th–14th centuries. Their vivid frescoes and cliffside setting reveal the spiritual and artistic brilliance of medieval Bulgaria.

Throughout your journey, scenic drives through river valleys, rocky cliffs, and forests provide a harmonious blend of nature, history, and exploration—an inspiring delve into Bulgaria beyond the typical tourist routes.
