Orpheus cliffs

Updated: Jun 11, 2023

Sometimes we find places with such wonderful views that the words just become superfluous, meaningless and ridiculous!

One of these places is the view from the Orpheus rocks to the valley of the Smolyan lakes!


Stunning!



Phenomenal!



Leaving you breathless!



So wonderfully weird!


Blue folds, ridge after ridge, ridge after ridge, like waves in the boundless blue sea!


Folded blue! As far as the eye can see!

Centuries-old trees - firs, pines, spruces ...

Legend has it that Orpheus stood here, drawing inspiration for his wonderful songs, and when he played his harp ... the forest birds fell silent, the wind died down, the leaves of the trees ceased to roar, the sun froze in the sky ...


How to get here?


Snezhanka peak and the foot of the tower on the side of the asphalt road are an excellent landmark. If you go up the road, at the foot of the tower, take the left, so that the ridge with the path to the tower remains on the right. You will find a well-marked, slightly sloping path that will soon take you to the rocks.


But enough talk!

Ladies and gentlemen, my dear friends, I present to you the majesty of the Rhodope Mountains in an incomparable, indescribable and stunning way!


I wish you an exceptional and impressive walk!
