Thracian Tumulus

Pomorie, Bulgaria

Known as the “hollow mound”, the Thracian Tumulus in Pomorie is an intriguing burial place dating back to the 2nd and 3rd century. Admire the Thracian and Roman architecture as you follow the corridor into the main chamber, where light and darkness meet – a unique cultural highlight in Pomorie.

Incredibly ancient heritage and it has to be visited by everyone.
Roland Banc (2 years ago)
For the price, we got almost nothing. The texts describing the tomb were badly translated and hard to even understand. The tomb itself is entirely reconstructed, almost nothing ancient remaining visible. They even added cheap lights and bad music, which makes the whole expwrience even worse. Nothing to be seen, really, quite pointless.

Old magical place which is worth to visit. Calm and cool in a hot summer day.

VERY impressive but I wish they would attend to the access road, parking, weeds and general surroundings to do justice to such a wonderful landmark.

It's quiet and somehow ignored historical place simply passed by by most of tourists travelling in this area. However this, in my opinion, is a must visit place for intelligent people interested in history. Entrance is 3 leva (less than 2$). If you happen to be near this place (it's just 100 meters from the Pontica coastal highway) don't hesitate taking a brief break and visit that great place

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
