The project includes the creation of five tourist routes and their adjoining tourist paths which lead to various historical and natural landmarks. Tourist paths vary in different length and directions.

Tourists are particularly interested in the path, called “Palm of Krali Marko” which leads them to rock formation, which resembles a palm and has weird local history.

Bobov Dol is a town in southwestern Bulgaria, part of Kyustendil Province. Bobov Dol lies near the geographic centre of the Balkan Peninsula and is known for its coal mines and thermal power plant. The third-largest town in the province (after Kyustendil and Dupnitsa), it is the administrative centre of Bobov Dol municipality.
Located in a mountainous region, it is surrounded on three sides by the mountain Konyavska Planina, with the Gologlavski Rid ridge to the north and east and the volcano-resembling peak of Kolosh to the west. To the south is the Razmetanitsa plain which reaches the valley of the Struma River. The town's name (literally "bean valley") may allude to the bean-shaped valley where the original village, now the Hristo Botev neighbourhood, is located.
