Roussenski Lom National Park The National Park of Roussenski Lom is situated in the north-east of Bulgaria, at about 20 km south of the city of Rousse. In the transition from the Pliocene to the Pleistocene (Glacial Period) the 2500 m thick limestone layers were slowly horizontally uplifted. That forced the river to cut its bed up to 100 m into the rock. The outcome is a remarkably beautiful meandering gully. It seems that all of a sudden you turn out to be in the mountains - an unusual experience in the Danube Plain. The area was pronounced a National Park in 1970. It covers 3200 hectares of land along the canyon-like valley of the Roussenski Lom, the last right feeder of the Danube the biggest treasure of the Park are the birds. Over 190 species have been registered to dwell in the valley, about 110 of them breeding there. The rest are winter visitors or more or less occasional guests. Most interesting are the rock dwellers. Among them are many birds registered as endangered species in the whole Europe, like the Egyptian vulture, the Golden Eagle, the Short-toed Eagle, the Lesser Kestrel, the Ruddy She duck, and the Great Eagle Owl.
