Blue Rocks Natural Park

Sinite Kamani Nature Park, strategically located directly above the city of Sliven, is a true paradise for hiking enthusiasts and lovers of natural beauty in Bulgaria. At the heart of the park are its iconic rock massifs, which gave it its name – the Blue Stones (Sinite Kamani). These geological phenomena, formed by rhyolite volcanism millions of years ago, acquire a unique bluish-grey hue under specific atmospheric conditions and lighting, creating an almost mystical and photogenic atmosphere, especially at sunset. The park offers an abundance of well-maintained and marked hiking trails of varying difficulty, catering to every taste – from short family strolls to more challenging treks for experienced mountaineers. The routes lead to breathtaking panoramic views of the vast Sliven Plain, the city of Sliven, and the distant slopes of the Eastern Balkan Mountains. Among the most popular destinations are Bulgarka Peak, the highest point of the Eastern Balkan Mountains, and the picturesque Mecha Polyana (Bear's Meadow), ideal for a picnic and relaxation. Along the trails, you will be accompanied by ancient forests, cool streams, hidden waterfalls, and remarkable biodiversity, including protected plant species and diverse birdlife. "Sinite Kamani" is the ideal place for an active holiday and a complete recharge amidst nature. The clean mountain air, the captivating tranquility, and centuries of history woven into the bizarre rock formations transform every visit into an unforgettable adventure. Immerse yourself in the unique geology and magnificent landscapes that make this nature park one of the most valuable treasures of the Sliven region and a must-visit destination for every tourist.
