- Komshtitsa - Komshtitsa is a village renowned in Bulgaria for its significant Jurassic marine fossils, including belemnites, squid-like creatures, shells, and ammonites.
The tour commences at the edge of the village. Participants will traverse dirt paths, encircling the peak known as “Kaleto.” Along the way, there are opportunities to observe Jurassic fossils and remnants of ancient fortifications. Before re-entering the village, visitors can explore an old cemetery dating back to the late 19th century, where the evolution of cross designs can be observed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please refrain from collecting fossils, as they are considered a national treasure.
