1. Rock-hewn Churches of Ivanovo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 109 reviews
Reviewed By TripTeks - Austin, United States
The Ivanovo Rock Monastery is not easily reached, as it requires some solid climbing up rugged stone steps that are especially challenging if they are wet from the morning dew. But in this case, the juice is worth the squeeze. And speaking of squeezing, expect to do just that as you enter the tight crevasse that forms the entry to this UNESCO-protected site. Inside are frescoes depicting the final days of Jesus’ life on Earth. Knowing your New Testament can be a great help, especially if you don’t have a knowledgeable guide.
2. Medieval town of Cherven

Reviewed By fjane84 - Island of Malta, Malta
This is a ruined fortress and town from the medieval period in time. The day we visited there was no entrance fee. You walk up a lot of steps to reach the main entry and there are good maps, info and reconstruction diagrams about the site in English. If you take your time you can explore for several hours and imagine how it was when it was complete. It had a turbulent past so obviously not alot remains. There are many signs in English to explain the site and it is very atmospheric and situated in a beautiful landscape. There is free parking below the fortress and a toilet and shop, which was not open when we visited.

The Orlova Chuka cave is located on the Northern shore of the Cherni Lom river, about 45 km South of Ruse, and therefore, South of the Danube river. It lies about 3 km from the town of Pepelina, the closest settlement to the caves. The caves are about 13 km long, 3 km of which can be visited. The rest is still under exploration and not accessible by the public. Orlova Chuka was discovered accidentally by a local shepherd in 1941 and was opened to visitors in 1952. It has multiple compartments, many with specific names, such as the Concert Hall, the Large Gallery, the Big Screes, the Cosmic Hall, etc. Interesting rock formations are also on display: the DInosaur, the Turtle, the Owl among others. In addition to the geological interest and the amazing views, the cave also houses 14 different bat species and it is pa rt of the Rusenski Lom Nature Park, one of 11 nature parks designated by the Bulgarian governments and protected by the Ministry of Environment and Water. The cave is open to visitors between April and October, seven days a week, between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. The token entrance fee includes the guide, since the cave can only be visited on a guided tour.

Ruse is an open, pretty, neatly structured and good-atmosphere-breathing city. This square is no exception. Pleasant for walking around or sitting on one of the benches. Surrounded by nice architecture.
