LANDMARKS AND TOURISM

Near the village of Vodenicharsko is located the Mal Asra fortress. It is located on a not very high rocky and needlepoint peak. It was built in the VI century and later, in the XI century was additionally built. Next to it you can see the so called "Wind rock" with ahole in it where local people have the habit of going through each St. George's day.

The interesting geological phenomenon the Broken Mountain is also situated here. It represents a tall, interrupted in the middle hill on the road to Vodenicharsko, shortly before the "Chamlak" protected area. The left side of the hill is shifted and sank compared to the right, at a distance of about 600 m. The difference in the altitude is about 80 m. The break is the result of tectonic shift.

Only 7 km in the south-east, close to the village of Lebed, is situated the Medieval fortress Ustra. It was built in the X century - supposedly during the reign of Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus - 913-959. The fort had three protective towers, which had three floors and internal staircases (some of which are still preserved). Many metal objects, pottery and copper coins were found during archeological excavations of the site.

At the foot of the Ustra fort are located the famous Swan Lakes, formed as a result of earthquakes. They are natural landmark with significant landscape value. Natural wild water lilies and other rare plant species grow in the lakes.
