::. The Canyon

BOJENIA Prak Centre is located 18 km far from the town of Rousse in South-West. It is situated above the meanders of the picturesque valley of the river Roussensky Lom. The park is on the territory of the village of Bojichen (municipality of Ivanovo), dated as a settlement on the main road Dacia Via back to the times of the Roman Empire.

Feature of this countryside are rich game hunting areas, plenty of natural, cultural and historical sights. Cut into the thick limestone layer and making many meanders the river indolently coils through forests, rocks and meadows. A rich and varied biological world with incomparable artistic and aesthetic aspect has been preserved between the high sheer cliffs in the valley.
