    Komstitsa- a village, which is one of the most important places of Bulgaria for belemnites, squid-like animals, shells, and ammonites. This area was full of people in the past. Thracian tribes settled here, Romans built a fortress and roads from Naisus to nowadays West Bulgaria. During the Bulgarian Revival, Komstitsa was a craft center and the village became famous for its dairies. This area was a place for battles between Bulgaria and Serbia during the wars at the end of XIXth. and the beginning of XXth. century. The transfer to Komstitsa is 1.5 hours. From the end of the village, the tour starts. We’ll walk on dirty roads, making a girth around the peak, called “Kaleto”. During the walking, we can see fossils from the Jurassic period and the remains of old fortifications. Before entering again into the village we can see an old graveyard from the end of the XIXth century and you can see the evolution of the cross.
