Awe inspiring. The statue shadows over the city and the size is unbelievable. Every detail is superb, wow what a place. You can drive right up to it with just a short walk to the cashier.

A must see site. Definitely makes you think about the past and humbles you. Great historical heritage and the best view of Shumen from the high ground. Parking is a bit distant so prepare for a 5 min walk to the entrance.

Big, bigger, biggest! The Monument to the Founders of the Bulgarian State is one you can’t miss. Visible from 30 km away, it is 450 meters above sea level. Construction began in 1979 and in 1981, the year in which 1300 years of Bulgaria were celebrated, the monument was unveiled. You can get there on foot (2 kilometers/1300 steps from the Freedom Monument in the center of Shumen) or by car. There is a large parking lot. The monument is very well maintained and, unlike other monuments in Bulgaria, you are not alone there. At the ticket office there are explanatory leaflets available in many languages. It is advisable to take one with you (and return it later), otherwise the meaning of the figures and mosaics will escape you. A very impressive monument that you will not soon forget. Recommended!

Great stop! It's one of my preferred spots in Bulgaria. The entrance fee is 2 Euro. There are plenty of parking places, toilets and a coffee shop.

This is a highly wonderful place. I appreciate and admire the ancestors who built such a magical place. It is a place worth visiting once in a lifetime to feel the value of history and what we are lucky to see today. Tina Yuan from Vietnam
