The Bulgarian "Stonehenge" — Attraction in Elena

An interesting and great place to walk. Someone's worked hard. What are the similarities and differences of this cromlech with that of England Stonehenge. English is ancient about 3000 years old. Bulgarian is new. English has three parts - the first is a moat shaped circle with a diameter of 100 meters with embankments on both sides, but it is of little interest to tourists. The second part is a circle with a diameter of 30 meters of stones measuring 4 meters in height and 2 meters wide. The third part is a circle with a diameter of 10 meters of smaller stones. The Bulgarian is only one circle with a diameter of about 27 meters and the stones are approximately 2 meters high and 1 meter wide. In English, one can watch and photograph from the moat, i.e. from about 40 meters for a time of 2 hours within working hours. In Bulgarian you can take pictures from wherever you want and you can go inside, the time is unlimited and there are no working hours. English costs 25 pounds. Bulgarian is free. In English the stones are without inscriptions. In Bulgarian stones are written with interesting thoughts. In summary, I think the trip to the Bulgarian Stonehenge is worth it. The place is well maintained. There is a place to park for free and also where to eat. GPS :...

Overlooking the mountains and the Elena lakes/water reservoirs in the distance. Raised stage in the middle of the field is used for summer concerts, special events etc. The village Раювци it is a part of is worth the drive too, lots of quaint homes with rooms to rent. Idyllic scene in the...

An inspiring collection of modern stones in a circle, and illuminated at night. The stones have carved inscriptions & quotes from Bulgarian history, and heroes.

The road into the village is a little treacherous unless everyone keeps their speeds low, and their eyes forwards (difficult with the beautiful houses to look at).

Remember to keep your dog on a lead; we saw a cockerpoo/labradoodle urinate on one of the stones, which felt...
