It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

The Rayuvski cromlech and the monument of Valchan Voivoda are located in the village of Rayuvtsi, in the beautiful Elena Balkan, next to the shores of the Yovkovtsi Dam and about 30 km from the city of Veliko Tarnovo. It’s worth visiting the Valchan Voyvoda Memorial Complex, erected in his honor in 2015. There are still many legends about his exploits, how he protected the population during the Turkish slavery and how much he did for the liberation of Bulgaria. Also you will visit the nearby Rayuvski cromlech, the so-called “Bulgarian Stonehenge”. The cromlechs are large stone blocks arranged in a circle, used for cult rituals by the ancient Thracians. The Paradise Cromlech was built in 2017 in a similar way to the Stonehenge Cromlech in England. Each stone is specially processed and on it is written a great thought or quote of Botev, Levski, Stefan Stambolov, Gotse Delchev, Bacho Kiro and Kolyu Ficheto.
