A futuristic flying saucer 12 km from the Shipka Pass is visible far from the neighborhood, and in the warmer months, is readily available for those who like history and stalkers.

The monument on Mount Buzludzha opened in 1981 in honor of the Bulgarian Communist Party in the place where died heroically insurgent group Hadji Dimitar. Then, in 1886, Bulgaria was still under Ottoman rule.

The monument was built around the world, only the people's money to build this grandiose construction height of 171 meters took about 16, 2 million leva, just as 25 million has been spent.

It took the Pioneers and celebrated the victory of the Comintern, delivering people from the nearby towns on the top of the buses. Now the monument to the era forgotten and destroyed slowly. Electrical cables stolen, decorative cladding elements made of valuable types of stone pillaged through concrete walls sprouting grass, but through the broken glass was still the sun shines.
