Kailuka Park - Bulgaria, Pleven

Kailuka Park is located south of the center of Pleven. It was declared a Protected Site at the initiative of Gen. Ivan Vinarov. It is rich in many protected animal and plant species.
It is located about 10,000 decares in the karst valley of the Tuchenitsa River. The natural canyon of the river has sheltered a rich and varied flora and fauna where unique plants for Bulgaria and the Balkan Peninsula meet, and many birds and mammals are included in the Bulgarian Red Book. There lived prehistoric animals and creatures millions of years ago, and in most limestone rock masses there are still fossils of ancient aquatic organisms. With the naked eye, the decline of the world ocean over the millennia, like shaped stalls on the rocks and the numerous caves, is noticed.
The park offers unique combining opportunities for walking, recreation and entertainment. Vertical rocks, over 40 - 50 meters high, are great for practicing rock climbing. There are artificial lakes and dams, boats and water wheels, swimming pools, hotels, bars, cafes, restaurants, discos, playgrounds, tennis courts, zoo and a unique restaurant entirely built in a cave.
