Rhodope mountains - the home of Orpheus
Unique nature phenomena in the Rhodopes


The Rhodopes are mysterious mountains, which will never disclose all secrets immediately. For that reason we are going to help and direct you where to look for.

Travelling along the road connecting Plovdiv with the town of Smolyan make sure not to miss "The Miracle Bridges" - some of the most curious natural phenomena of the Rhodopes. They are natural rock arches formed probably thousands of years ago following an earthquake. It ruined an ancient cave, the water carried away the rocks which had fallen and as a result two marble bridges of rare beauty were formed side by side.

You are an admirer of austere and magnificent beauty - in that case the Trigrad and Buinovo Gorges will offer you a breathtaking scenery. And if you like adventures you should by all means go down the abyss of the cave called, not without reason, "The Devil’s Throat".

A lot of myths and legends have been associated with that macabre cave which you will hear performed by our guide in the most emotional way.
