The Thracian hill necropolis in the country Propada, within 3 km to the west of the town of Malko Tarnovo, ws a sacred place for the Thracians who lived in the region for eight centuries (from the 4th century B.C to the 4th century A.D.) Skilful miners and stock-breeders, they kept the memory of their forefathers, believed in the immortality and were persuaded that the spirit passes away at this sacred place, In the necropolis, grave equipments from different ages are preserved – a vault of the 4th century B.C., graves of slab stones, a tomb built of stones and bricks and bombs from the Roman age that follow the more ancient constructions tradition to build dolmens and to hew graves in the rock.
Note that I decided to not hide the cache in necropolis but in place when approaching it.
Here is a tracklog how to reach the necropolis and its main landmarks:
