Northern Bulgaria's Hidden Gems: Waterfalls, Caves & Rock Churches

Discover the hidden natural and cultural treasures of Northern Bulgaria on a full-day private tour from Veliko Tarnovo, where scenic landscapes, unique geological formations, and UNESCO heritage come together.

Begin your journey at the beautiful Hotnitsa Waterfalls, a series of turquoise cascades set in lush greenery. Enjoy a relaxing walk along forest trails, take in the peaceful atmosphere, and capture stunning views of one of the region’s most picturesque natural landmarks.

Continue to Orlova Chuka Cave, one of Bulgaria’s most unusual caves. Formed in a rare “upside-down” process, likely by thermal waters, it impresses with its vast halls and striking natural shapes. Its dramatic interior makes it a fascinating stop for anyone interested in geology and unique landscapes.

The highlight of the day is the Ivanovo Rock Churches, a UNESCO World Heritage Site carved into the cliffs above the Rusenski Lom River. Dating back to the 13th–14th centuries, these medieval chapels feature remarkably preserved frescoes that reveal the spiritual and artistic achievements of the time.

This is a private tour for up to 4 persons.
