Why Elon Musk and Elden Ring Could Boost Tourism in Bulgaria
A boost to a country’s tourism industry can come in many shapes and forms.
The miraculous rock formations near the northwest Bulgarian town of Belogradchik moved down one place to third position in the global campaign to select the world's new Seven Wonders.
Bulgaria's Belogradchik Rocks are behind Serbia's Davolja Varos ("Devil's Cave"), and Hong Kong's Amah Rock.
The initiative committee in support of the Belogradchik Rocks headed by the Mayor of the Belogradchik Municipality, Emil Tsankov, is urging all Bulgarians and Bulgaria lovers to vote for the Bulgarian bidder on the website of the campaign, new7wonders.com.
The Belogradchik Rocks are competing with 260 other landmarks from 220 nations all across the world. The global campaign is organized by a Switzerland-based NGO.
77 of the 261 bidders will be selected as finalists by the end of July 2009 through online voting at new7wonders.com. The winners, i.e. the world's new Seven Wonders will become known in 2011.
The Belogradchik Rocks are miraculous sandstone and limestone rock formations of up to 200 m in height with various shapes resulting from erosion. They form a strip which is 30 km in length and 3 km in width in the northwestern part of the Stara Planina (Balkan) Mountain.
Every single rock is named after a real object that it resembles. The rock range varies in color. The Belogradchik Rocks were declared a natural landmark in 1949. The ancient Belogradchik fortress is also located among the rocks.
