The Stone Wedding

Rhodopes · 10 May 2026 · 2 min read

One of the most fascinating places near Kardzhali.

The moment I saw the enormous rocks, I was struck by their strange shapes.

They looked like people gathered at a wedding celebration.

That’s where I learned the intriguing legend of the place. According to it, during a wedding the wind lifted the bride’s veil, and everyone marveled at her beauty. The groom flew into a rage, and in that very instant, they were all turned to stone.

The place was beautiful, peaceful, and mysterious, and the view will stay in my memory for a long time.
