The Belite Skali (White Rocks) eco-path is in the village of Lyutibrod, in the Iskar gorge, about 27 km from Vratsa on the road to Sofia. It is easy, marked in green and takes about an hour. It starts at the bridge over the Iskar in the village.

The route

The path has two separate branches:

  • One leads to the historic Rashov Dol area.
  • The other leads to the remains of a 12th–14th-century church and a 5th-century early Christian basilica.

The ancient settlement of Koritengrad is also on the way. There are rest spots and many information boards on the village's history. The path is about 1.6 km.

Who it suits

The route is short and easy and suits families with children. It is more a history walk than a mountain hike. It is most pleasant in spring and autumn.

Nearby

The Cherepish monastery is a few kilometres along the gorge, and the Ritlite rock walls are right by Lyutibrod. The three combine easily into a day out from Vratsa or Sofia.
