The group of bizarre sandstone and limestone rock formations situated near the town of Vidin (northwestern Bulgaria) is among the first seven nominated wonders; 261 beautiful sites on six continents will compete till July 7, 2009. They were chosen among 441 nominations from all over the world. The Belogradchik Rocks are in the running with the Everest, Grand Canyon, Mont Blanc, Mount Vesuvious, Loch Ness, Lake Balaton, Titicaca Lake, Niagara Falls, Bora-Bora and the Great Barrier Reef.
