1 Day tour (with Patrick as your guide) to the "Madara horseman" - a relief portraying a life size horseman, followed by a dog carved on a cliff, about 100 m high. The relief covers an area of 23 m2 . A dying lion is pictured at the feet of the horse. Greek inscriptions around the figure tell of Bulgarian rulers and important events.This is a rare monument, dating from the VIII - IX c. A. D. It is a unique symbol of young Bulgaria.
