The Vratitsa Pass, known in the Middle Ages as Vratitsa, is a symbol of the city of Vratsa and is associated with its name. The steep cliffs of Vratitsa are the highest on the Balkan Peninsula – over 400 m. It is the most popular alpine site in Bulgaria. The gorge contains the ancient remains of the medieval citadel of Vratitsa. The pass is extremely beautiful and has an impressive rock massif.

It was declared a natural landmark in 1964 and covers an area of 2 hectares. The road to Ledenika Cave, the tourist complex of the same name, Pershevitsa Hut, and the village of Zgorigrad pass through it. The pass is a gorge of the Leva River, a rare beautiful and impressive rock massif. The rock formations are on the Central Wall, the Eastern and Zgorigradski Massif. There are over 140 alpine routes of varying difficulty, some of which are emblematic of Bulgarian mountaineering — “The Mirrors,” “Second Congress,” “Vinkela,” “Dog’s Tooth,” and others. Currently, modern ice screws have been placed along the alpine routes to ensure the safety of climbers.

The remains of the medieval fortress of Vratitsa (10th-12th century) have been preserved in the gorge. The monument to Radan Voivoda is also located in the vicinity.

There is a shelter with a table and benches. Along the Lev River, there are also sun loungers with umbrellas for resting on warm days. There is a spring with drinking water nearby.
