Карстово ждрело Чернелка, Natural monument in Dunav Plain, Bulgaria
Chernelka Karst Gorge is a limestone canyon in the Danube Plain with steep rock walls rising from the valley floor. The formation stretches across a deep valley surrounded by dense forest and natural vegetation.
The gorge was carved by water flowing through limestone rock over millions of years. In 1969, it received protected status as a natural monument to preserve this geological formation.
The gorge is used by local communities and visitors as a place to experience the natural limestone landscape firsthand. The walking path connecting two villages demonstrates how people integrate this geological site into their daily routines.
A walking trail with bridges runs through the gorge and is relatively easy to navigate. The path allows visitors to move through the canyon at their own pace while experiencing the landscape up close.
The gorge is home to a wide range of bird species that nest and breed in the rock walls. With patience, visitors may spot rare birds and other wildlife that inhabit this protected space.
