Culture and History

The Bogoroditsa Step is a preserved attraction from Roman times, carved into natural rock. It is located in the center of Mineralni Bani, five meters from the first mineral spring, and measures two meters in length, one meter in depth, and 0.75 meters in width.

The Sharapani site contains Iron Age monuments carved into the rock, created 2,600 to 2,800 years ago. The rock installations there include two uneven basins with sloping bottoms and a channel. From the site, panoramic views extend toward the slopes of the Eastern Rhodopes, the Trakiya Reservoir, and across the Haskovo Plain.

The Thracian rock sanctuary complex and the late-antique fortress at Hasara can be visited free of charge. A guide is available upon prior request. Access from Angel Voyvoda is via an unpaved road or the Sarnitsa–Pette Chuchura–Angel Voyvoda eco-trail.
