Route - Erkyupria

The Belogradchik Erkyupria is located in the "Makaza" area. Its vault is about 20-25 meters while the height of the opening is 10 to 12 meters. The entire rock group is located west of the town of Belogradchik. These rocks are reached by a dirt road, suitable for off-road vehicles, ATVs & quads, jeeps and others.

Erkyupria is a rock formation, part of the ensemble of the unique Belogradchik rocks, created by nature more than 200 million years ago. Along with the huge cut rocks, deep chasms, sheer cliffs and impressive rock bridges can also be seen here.

On the unusual rock formations, you can see natural bonsai. These are century-old pines that grow on the top of the rocks. Although their age of more than 200-300 years old, they are very small due to the scarce soil. The reason is the lack of moisture and nutrients.

The route takes about 1 hour. The difficulty level is medium to high.
