Beglik Tash
Беглик Таш
A Thracian sanctuary of giant stones in a seaside forest. It has been used for sun worship and fertility rites since around the 15th century BC.
Beglik Tash lies in the coastal forest north of Primorsko. It is a prehistoric Thracian sanctuary made of natural giant boulders and was only systematically excavated in 2003. The site features rocks known as the 'Stone Table,' the 'Sun Sundial,' the 'Altar,' and the 'Birthing Cave.' They are believed to have been used for worship of the sun god and for New Year rituals. Bilingual Chinese and English interpretive signs are provided, and a circular trail takes about 1 hour. Admission is inexpensive. The best season is roughly April to October. It is about 55 km from Burgas, so a car is the most convenient way to get there. It can be paired with Ropotamo Reserve on the same day.
