Ep.98: Is Belogradchik ( Белоградчик ) worth visiting?

Come take a train from Vidin to Oreshets ( Орешец 3940) then ride to Belogradchik ( Белоградчик ) with us!
On the way, you'll see an abandoned cave archeological dig site in a huge cave that's free to enter ( пещера Козарника ) . We'll show you the incredible Belogradchik fortress as well as a hiking path that has free entry! You'll also see the wider landscape, snippets of local life, and our accommodation.
The EV6 is one of the best cycling routes in the world. This is a side trip you can do during the ride. You can also travel up to Oreshets and Belogradchik from Sophia within a day.
Here's some great information about the fortress:

The cave was really good I still don’t think it was a good idea to go down though haha!! More beautiful beautiful scenery. That door was next level thick at the end, looks like a bank volt.

The fortress hike was my favourite part. Oh, and patting the railway station cat. 😸
