Skribina, Thracian megalithic sanctuary in Kribul, Bulgaria
Skribina is a stone sanctuary located at about 1157 meters elevation within an oak forest. The site features a natural rock arch carved from the bedrock itself, with modern wooden stairs providing access to the megalithic structures.
The sanctuary originates from ancient Thracian times, with evidence of ritual use continuing from pre-Christian periods through today. The site has served as an important location for spiritual practice across many centuries.
The site draws visitors from the surrounding region who participate in healing rituals at the stones, reflecting customs passed down through generations. People leave offerings and pass through the natural arch as part of their personal spiritual practices.
Red markings on the wooden stairs show the way through the site and make navigation straightforward. The location is accessible year-round, though sturdy footwear is recommended for the uneven paths and steps.
Visitors perform ceremonies at this location that involve walking in circles around the stone and then leaving behind articles of clothing as a personal offering. This practice is a visible sign of the deep connection people feel toward this sanctuary.
