LANDMARKS AND TOURISM

In the village of Beli plast is situated the natural phenomenon Stone mushrooms. The local people call it Mantarkaya. The rock formations resembling mushrooms are product of rhyolitic volcano tuffs. The area was declared natural landmark in 1974.

High in the rocks, about 11 km south-east of the village of Sokolyane, rises the archeological complex of 'Perperikon'. It is claimed the complex used to be a sanctuary of Dionysus (the god of Wine, Theatre and Ecstasy in Greek mythology).

In the village of Stremtsi you can visit the famous ancient gold mines, known as 'Inikler' cave. They are located about 200 m away of the main road Kardzhali-Haskovo, after the micro-dam between the villages of Rani list and Stremtsi. The mine workmanships are hewn in very strong rocks, without any use of pillar. They follow the ore-bearing lead and resemble a labyrinth. At the end of the galleries is located a small lake. The site is easily accessible, but it is not recommendable to go in there without any guide who knows the disposition of the galleries
