The National Park (NP) of Roussenski Lom is situatedin the nord-east of Bulgaria, at about 20 km south of the city of Rousse. In the transition from the Pliocene to the Pleistocene (Glacial Period) the 2500 m thick limestone layers were slowly horizontally uplifted. That forced the river to cut its bed up to 100 m into the rock. The outcome is a remarkably beautiful meandering gully. It seems that all of a sudden you turn out to be in the mountains - an unusual experience in the Danubian Plain.
The area was pronounced a National Park in 1970.
It covers 3200 hectares of land along the anyon-like valley of the Roussenski Lom, the last right feeder of the Danube.
The Directorate of the Park works in close cooperation with the WWF.
