Rhodopes

In the Rhodope Mountains you can experience natural phenomena, original Bulgarian culture and traditional festivals. The natural phenomena of the Rhodope Mountains range from stunning caves to fascinating picturesque rocks. The most famous cave is the Devil’s Throat Cave: It serves as a setting for a legend of the Greek mythology in which Orpheus enters the underworld. Inside this cave you will be amazed at Bulgaria’s highest cave waterfall – a scene that makes for a perfect photo motif. Charming and picture-perfect villages were built in the valleys of the Rhodopes: Each of them offers its own special highlights. In Shiroka Laka village, for example, you can discover traditional Bulgarian architecture in black and white. Grab your sketchbook or camera and explore the beauty of the Rhodopes!
