Description

Rusenski Lom is a very quiet place, 14 km south of the town of Ruse. Approaching the river Lom, which flows in a natural way, gives you the pleasant change of landscape, beginning with arable fields, long grass areas with scattered trees, some woods and finally the rocky gorges. The valley itself, accessible at some points, is grassy, again with scattered bushes and trees. Some of the birds of interest are египетски мршојадец , црн штрк , мал орел кликач , Лисест (Белоопашест) глувчар and був. They are not abundant, but regularly seen.

In this little typical Bulgarian village, go left an then right (Rock hewn churches are indicated). This small road, offering birding potential (градинарска стрнарка), leads to a parking place at its end after 4 km. From there, the only option is to go further on foot. A small walk uphill offers good views. By train is possible, from the village of Ivanovo. It is a long walk, but the area as such is quite interesting.
