General presentation
Silistra, Srébarna et Svechtari
Bird reserve, Thrace tomb and rock heritage open the Bulgarian northeast beyond the coast.
Srébarna Nature Reserve, Svechtari Thrace Tomb and Ivanovo Rupest Churches give the most telling landmarks of Silistra, Srébarna and Svechtari. Together, they form a destination where wetlands, heritage, countryside and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: transport and openings to be confirmed and weather likely to modify the program. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Réserve naturelle de Srébarna
The Srébarna reserve protects a danubian lake bordered by reeds, known for its waterfowl and curled pelicans. Observatories and paths on the periphery allow to look at the living without entering sensitive areas, especially during periods of migration and nesting.
Remarkable location
Tombeau thrace de Svechtari
The Thrace tomb of Svechtari impresses with its carved funeral chamber, where female figures in relief seem to support interior architecture. The site speaks of an ancient aristocratic world without accumulating the scenery: a few volumes, a clear stone and a controlled silence are enough to mark the visit.
Remarkable location
Églises rupestres d'Ivanovo
The rock churches of Ivanovo open in the cliffs of the Roussenski Lom valley, with chapels dug in the rock and medieval frescoes still legible. The interest comes as much from the access road as from paintings, suspended between limestone wall, vegetation and changing light.
