After the city tour we're heading inland to the beatifull Rhodopes mountain towards the Аsen's fortress, located on high ground with panoramic views. We will stay about 30min. to enjoy the view of the mountains, the town of Asenovgrad and the Thracian valley.
Our last stop will be the picturesque Bachkovo Monastery - second largest.
The monastery buildings form two rectangular courtyards – northern (original) and southern added in the 19th century. Inside the complex we visit the main church of Virgin Mary built in 1604 where a valuable icon of Saint Mary from 11-12th century AD is being kept. According to the legend this remarkable icon is believed to be miracle working.
