Things to do in Momchilgrad

Nature lovers should head to the Chukovsky Waterfall, a picturesque cascade located south of Momchilgrad. Pack a picnic to enjoy at the base of the falls while admiring the scenic canyon.

Momchilgrad makes a good base for exploring the town of Kardzhali, which is named after the 14th-century Ottoman conqueror, Kırca Ali. See prehistoric artefacts from Perperikon and Tatul at the Kardzhali Museum of History before visiting the Old Clock Tower where Bulgarian revolutionary songs are played on the hour. Dominating a peak overlooking the River Arda are the remains of the medieval Vishegrad Fortress.

A short drive east of Momchilgrad is the village of Tatul, which is home to one of Bulgaria’s most important megalithic monuments, the Thracian Rock-Hewn Sanctuary. Topped by a truncated pyramid, the archaeological site dates back to the 5th century BC and comprises two sarcophagi, a rectangular main altar and a three-metre-deep well. While exploring the ruins, learn about their links to Orpheus and King Rhesus of Thrace and the Roman artefacts that have been uncovered here.
