Belintash (also spelled Belantash, Beluntash, or "Beli Tashi") is one of the most mystical, highly energetic, and ancient natural and historical landmarks in Bulgaria. It is a massive, flat-topped mountain plateau nestled in the Rhodope Mountains, soaring at an altitude of 1,225 meters above sea level and located about 30 km southeast of the town of Asenovgrad, rising high above the villages of Mostovo, Topolovo, and Dolnoslav. Spanning roughly 5 decares along an elongated north-south rocky ridge with an average eastward slope of 18°, Belintash is recognized as the second-largest rock-cut sanctuary in Bulgaria, surpassed only by Perperikon.
Belintash owes much of its mystical reputation to its extraordinary natural and geophysical features:

Late spring through early autumn (May–September) is best for Belintash, when trails are clear of snow and weather is most stable. Higher peaks may hold snow into June and see fresh snow as early as October. Winter visits are for experienced mountaineers with proper gear.
Belintash reaches an elevation of 1,225 metres above sea level.
Hiking boots, layered clothing, water (1.5–2 L per person), sun protection, and a windproof jacket — mountain weather changes quickly. For longer routes also bring a map (paper or offline), a head torch, and emergency rations. Tell someone your planned route and expected return time.
