Thracian Rock-Hewn Sanctuary (Tatul) — Attraction in Momchilgrad

The parking lot is about 1 km from the site with slight descent towards the site but on the return one needs to climb back. As I have mobility problems I asked the person selling the tickets to let us drive in and he kindly agreed. Thanks, buddy! Fact remains that who ever designed the site as a tourist attraction did not care at all about persons with mobility problems! The site itself is dangerous to be visited even by healthy athletes!
