Мomini Rocks is a natural phenomenon in the Rhodopi Mountain. The tall vertical rocks can take your breath away and the view from the top is exceptionally beautiful. It is located next to the villages Hrabrino and Izvor - just 20km away from Plovdiv. It's the perfect spot for one day trip in the nature. It takes about 1 hour of walking to get there from Izvor. A legend says that durring the Ottoman rule one of the prettiest girls from the village decided to jump from the rocks so she doesn't have to be a slave of the Ottomans and lose her honor.
