Megalitgh Rock Sanctuary

"THE DOOR OF THE SUN" is the name of the Megalith near Buzovgrad village, Kazanlak municipality. It is known as the Bulgarian Stonehenge and represents an ancient Thracian observatory. There is a window in the rocks 1.80 m high, in which falls the sun at sunset during the Megalith Festival. The view from the rocks at Valley of Roses and Thracian Kings along the Tunja river is exceptional!

Buzludzha Monument

Reviewed By JoostG3 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Unfortunately completely closed (even the more clandestine routes you might find online) yet still impressive to see. Route to the monument is best coming from the south (good road), yet route from the west is also very doable with a regular car, despite what other reviews say. This route also gets you past a couple of massive concrete & steel torches.

Tomb of Seuthes III

Reviewed By PlacesCases - Sofia, Bulgaria

This tomb dates back to V century B.C. There were found very interesting and valuable artefacts like the bronze head of Seuthes III, a gold wreath, other gold objects, armors of a warrior and many more. You can see all of them in the History Museum of Kazanlak.
