Itinerário

1. When the empire of the dinosaurs was rising, most of the Bulgarian lands were below the sea. 150 million years later, this sea is Ponor mountain. Now that carst mountain has limestones from the Triassic and Jurassic period.

   1 h

2. Komstitsa- a village, which is one of the most important places of Bulgaria for Jurassic sea animals like belemnites, squid-like animals, shells, and ammonites. From the end of the village, the tour starts. We’ll walk on dirt roads, making a girth around the peak, called “Kaleto”. During the walking, we can see fossils from the Jurassic period and remains of old fortifications. Before entering again into the village we can see an old graveyard from the end of the XIXth century and you can see the evolution of the cross.  IMPORTANT NOTE: Don’t take the fossils, they are a natural treasure of the country.

About Sofia

Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, lies below Vitosha mountain, mixing Roman ruins, golden-domed churches, mineral springs and a busy café culture.

Sofia sits in a high basin at the foot of Mount Vitosha, and its centre layers Roman Serdica, Orthodox Bulgaria and the Ottoman and Soviet eras. The gold-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, completed in the early twentieth century, is the city's best-known building. Close by are the fourth-century rotunda of St George, the Banya Bashi Mosque and the remains of Roman streets that show through glass in the metro stations.
