Additional Information
If serene treks amidst nature, far from the city’s clamor, appeal to you, then this excursion is your calling. We will saunter through remnants of a prehistoric ocean, once home to mollusks and vibrant marine life. Immerse yourself in the journey into natural history and touch a fragment of it. When dinosaurs were burgeoning to their zenith, the lands of Bulgaria were submerged underwater. Fast-forward 150 million years and that sea has transformed into Ponor mountain. Today, that karst mountain exhibits limestone from the Triassic and Jurassic era.
