Peaks Todorini Kukli
Todorini Kukli are a group of 4 rocky peaks in Koznitsa mountain (part of Western Stara Planina), the highest of which is 1785 m high. It is located 10 km southwest of Varshets and 6 km northeast of the Petrohan pass.
The peaks form a short hill, a branch of the main Stara Planina ridge, with a north-south direction. The two highest peaks to the south of the ridge are grassy, while the extreme two to the north have sharp rocky slopes. The elevation is at the southernmost peak of the group.
From the top there is a panoramic view of Kom to the northwest, Berkovsko Pole, Varshets, Montana to the north and the Vratsa Balkan to the northeast. North of Todorini dolls, at a distance of 5 km is the Klisura Monastery.
Todorini Kukli are also associated with the folk legend of the beautiful girl Todora. According to the folk song, she bet on becoming the wife of the young man who climbed the high peak in the middle of the night and left a mark on himself. When no one wanted to go, she boldly went up with only her “hurka”, and when she reached the small meadow at the top, she drove the “hurka” into the ground. When she got up to go back, she felt something pull her by the apron or skirt, she was afraid that it was evil spirits or fairies, she jerked and flew into the terrible abyss below the top. In time, people found at this place only the beaten Todorina hurka, which turned out to be a sign not only of her ascent, but also of her death.
