Belogradchik et Vidin
Red rocks, spectacular fortress and Danube stage around Vidin, in a more rural and less frequented Bulgaria.
Belogradchik Rocks, Belogradchik Fortress and Vidin and Danube give the most telling landmarks of Belogradchik and Vidin. Together, they form a destination where natural spaces, heritage, riverscapes and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: isolated region and simpler tourist offer. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Rochers de Belogradchik
The rocks of Belogradchik Red columns, strange silhouettes and natural walls are erected above a very open countryside. The end-of-day light reinforces their reliefs, while the paths and viewpoints multiply the angles on this almost carved landscape.
Culture and heritage
Forteresse de Belogradchik
The fortress of Belogradchik uses rocks as natural ramparts, mixing built walls and red walls in a single defensive device. The visit is as valid for military history as it is for viewpoints, as each terrace reveals a new mineral form.
Town or village
Vidin et Danube
Vidin looks at the Danube from its docks, its waterfront park and the Baba Vida fortress. The city offers a slow stop in the northwest of Bulgaria, between Ottoman memory, Austro-Hungarian traces and wide views towards the border river.
