When the empire of the dinosaurs was rising, most of the Bulgarian lands were below the sea. 150 million years later, this sea is Ponor mountain. Now that carst mountain has limestones from the Triassic and Jurassic period.

Komstitsa- a village, which is one of the most important places of Bulgaria for Jurassic sea animals like belemnites, squid-like animals, shells, and ammonites. From the end of the village, the tour starts. We’ll walk on dirt roads, making a girth around the peak, called “Kaleto”. During the walking, we can see fossils from the Jurassic period and 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. IMPORTANT NOTE: Don’t take the fossils, they are a natural treasure of the country.
