The route successively visits Kalinkin Kamak, Gaidarov Dolap dolmen, the dolmens in the Stoeva Krusha area, Yurushkite Kamani, a rock-cut tomb and dolmen in the Avdjika area, a sharapana, the Raka megalith and the two dolmens in the Sredniya Rat area.
The ride ends with 3 km of cycling along the asphalt road between Topolovgrad and the village of Hlyabovo. It is important to note that for some of the above-mentioned sites it is not necessary to reach the site by bicycle. Instead, the bicycle can be left at the turn-off – either hidden behind bushes or locked with a chain, at the cyclist's discretion. This is why you will notice on the track that there are spurs/branches leading from the main route to the tourist sites.
At two locations – on the approach to the Gaidarov Dolap dolmen and after the abandoned marble quarry – there are electric fences. However, there are gates in these fences on the dirt road itself, which can be easily opened and closed using the plastic handles of the electric fence.
