Village Trigrad

The village of Trigrad (Smolyan district) is situated in the Western Rhodope Mountains not far from the border between Bulgaria and Greece. It is lies 26 km south of the town of Devin , and 40 km west of the town of Smolyan.
The numerous remains found in cave dwellings from the Copper-stone Age, as well as from the Thracian period show the old origin of the village. The village is believed to be composed of 3 smaller settlements and that’s why is called Trigrad (three settlements).
The Muslim and Christian culture and traditions have become interwoven in the village. In Trigrad you can see a Christian church and a Muslim mosque built side by side.
The village offers many attractions for the tourists such as caving, horseback riding, trekking and mountain-biking. Trigrad Gorge is a breathtaking natural phenomena that spreads about 2-3 km along Trigradska river. The 250 m high and sheer rocks at the two sides of the river form an impressive narrow rocky bed of the river which goes underground, meanders in the Devil’s Throat cave creating some 18 roaring waterfalls there and appears again on the surface.
