Belogradchik (also known as Kaleto) is located southwest of Belogradchik, near the famous Belogradchik cliffs.
It was built among the stone rocks when the Bulgarian state was established. It was naturally inaccessible, because the two sides were surrounded by stones and so only two walls were built.
Subsequently, the Ottoman conquerors extended the fortress. In 1850, the fortress played a negative role in Belogradchik’s Revolt. After the rebels were crushed, some of the most prominent people in the city were taken out of the city through a tunnel and were beheaded. At the same place of execution, a monument was built in the memory of those people.
The fortress was used for the last time during the Serbian-Bulgarian war of 1885.
Nowadays the fortress has been restored and organized as an open-air museum.
The „Planina Burgas” area includes a hill on the outskirts of the village, and part of the Belogradchik rocks on which the television tower is built.
In the boulders of red and white sandstone millions of years old, there are hundreds of stones filled with rusty metal parts that seem to fortify the rock. Obviously the metals are of a technogenic nature. The metal creates the impression that it has dissolved through the cliffs during their interactions when the metal was fluid, then hardening too fast. Holes are deep. Some have a depth deeper than a few meters. There are two visible holes in the rock that can be seen as a telescope. There are metal plates, 20-30 years ago, like those made in today’s factories.
Tests carried out on samples showed the presence of 80-90% iron content. Iron, tens of millions of years old, perhaps a product of unknown human civilization. Atlantis? Or maybe before Atlantis? Iron alone preserved through oxidation and magnetic properties – near a magnet, fragments stick to the magnet – and that despite the fact that probably in the past 1-2 million years was exposed in bad weather. We do not exaggerate at all when we say that studying the phenomenon of „Planina Burgas” can lead to the discovery of new technologies for the production, processing and industrial applications of this material; „It is supposed” that it was used by the modern man in its simple form 3,200 years ago.
„Kozarnika”, „Magura” and „Planinita, Burgas” – three phenomenal monuments of world importance, all under the same charisma of nature, almost in the same place in northwestern Bulgaria. These phenomena can change the dominant scientific view at this moment on the origin of the earth, the origin of man’s life and evolution.
