The Iskar Gorge is located not far from Sofia, where the Iskar River crosses through the Balkan Mountains. According to scientists, the river existed before the formation of the mountains, and after the mountain range was formed the river began to rise, slowly cutting its way through the mountains. The combination of water and stone offers many natural surprises, beautiful landscapes, caves and natural phenomena. This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in the country.
