Nature and Trails
The Aytos-Genger, also called “Aytos prickly astragalus,” is described as a Bulgarian endemic and Tertiary relict and is listed as a rare plant. Another notable formation is Three Brothers: the rock phenomenon was declared a natural monument by Order No. 1799 of June 30, 1972. The Three Brothers landmark and its surrounding area were identified as a potential Natura 2000 site covering an area of 1,047 hectares.
A red-marked eco-trail leads from Three Brothers to the bronze eagle statue and continues to the Kazanite natural monument. A second eco-trail runs east of Three Brothers via Aytos Koriya and the Sudievo spring to the village of Sudievo. Three Brothers was included as site number 7A in Bulgaria’s 100 National Tourist Sites on September 17, 2019.
