Rusenski Lom
The Rusenski Lom is a river in northeastern Bulgaria and the largest right-bank tributary of the Danube. Travelers visit this area to explore the river valley, which flows through a valley characterized by limestone cliffs and natural landscapes. The main course of the river is 55 km long, extending to 197 km when combined with the Beli Lom tributary.

The river valley is located on the outskirts of Ruse. From the city centre, you can reach the accessible parts of the valley via local transport or taxi. The travel time varies depending on the specific entry point of the valley, but typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes from the central district.
