Puzzle Black Sea Premium 1000 pieces - The Belogradchik Rocks

The rock formations near the town of Belogradchik are among the most special natural phenomena in Bulgaria. They occupy an area about 30 km long, and 3 to 5 km wide, and they reach 200 metres in height. The phenomenon originated about 230 million years ago. Back then the rocks were at the bottom of the sea; their reddish colour comes from the iron oxides and hydroxides. The most famous formations are known as the Horseman, the Madona, the Dervish, the Student, Adam and Eve, Velko Haydut, the Cuckoo, the Monk and the Nun. The spectacular view of the rocks is complemented by the ancient fortress Kaleto, built by the Romans.
