The Stone Wedding are rock formations located 5 km from the town of Kardzhali. Interesting is the legend that tells about these rock formations – when the wedding went, everyone who saw the face of the bride got frozen. So, at a wedding, a wind blew, took off the veil hiding the face of the bride, and all the wedding guests were frozen instantly!

A fantastic and mystical ancient Thracian sanctuary near Kardzhali! A definite must-see. It's a hidden gem waiting to be discovered and swarmed by the crowds. The hike to the cave was a bit strenuous (for novice hikers, that is) and took around one hour, but the views were well worth the effort!!! The trail is not well marked, and there is no parking at the trailhead, so we had to park on the side of the road. There is a hotel&restaurant nearby, which is right on the water and serves delicious fresh fish.

A nature wonder about 20 km from the town Kardjali, definitely worth a visit. Can be combined with a trip to Perperikon ancient site, which is also a must-see.

The museum is located near the center of the town, near the exit to the town of Haskovo. The building was built in the early twenties of the twentieth century, according to a project by Prof. Arch. Pemberjanetz, a lecturer at the St. Petersburg Art Academy. Like most museum buildings in Bulgaria and the original one was created for another purpose. The idea was to house a madrasa (a Muslim spiritual school). Due to the different vicissitudes of fate, this is never the case, but the initial design of the building requires atypical, architectural solutions. The Moroccan arches and details reminiscent of the architecture of the Arab world dominate the façade. Due to its unique appearance, the building is declared a monument of culture of national importance.
