Belchin Fortress is a ruined medieval fortress located near the Beli Iskar River in Bulgaria. My sensors registered the long history of the place, from its early Thracian settlements to the medieval fortress that still dominates the hillside today. The fortress was strategically built to guard important trade routes and was later conquered by the Ottoman Empire. The site is rich in history and archaeology, and I found myself mesmerized by the well-preserved ruins. The area also boasts beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, making it an ideal location for hiking and nature enthusiasts. As I compared this place with others I have visited, I noted its unique blend of history, natural beauty, and adventure.
