The Nebet Tepe Archaeological Complex is located on the northern hill of the Three Hills. Traces of human activity here can be traced from the Chalcolithic period (fourth millennium BC) to the present day. Dates for the earliest periods of occupation are sparse (4th–2nd millennium BC), but it is assumed that a Thracian cult center existed there at some point (12th–6th century BC). Analysis of historical sources suggests the existence of a Thracian settlement in the period 5th–4th century BC, but the expansion and flourishing of the settlement and its transformation into an urban center are linked to the campaigns of Philip II in Thrace in 351 BC. He abandoned his garrison and likely strengthened the ridge of Nebet Tepe. The fortifications of the hill and the town on the plain often changed rulers. In the 11th century BC, Philip V briefly conquered the site. In the years before the establishment of Roman rule in Thrace (mid-1st century AD), the last Thracian kings, Rhoe metalces I and Rhoe metalces II, ruled here. After the arrival of Roman troops in the city, construction began on a fortress wall that defended the entire area of the Three Hills. Over the years, these fortifications were expanded, demolished, repaired, doubled, and improved. Several important construction periods can be distinguished in the remains that have survived to this day: Thracian, Roman, Early Byzantine, Medieval, and Ottoman. The remaining Turkish name, Nebet Tepe (Watchtower), has conveyed over the centuries the importance of the hill as an observatory for traffic along the Maritsa River since ancient times, a sacred place for the Thracians, a residence, and a strategic location for military garrisons. The constant human presence contributed significantly to the destruction of most of the buildings and structures from earlier eras. Today, in addition to the fortress walls and two water reservoirs, parts of two buildings with chain-stays and fragments of street pavement have been preserved and restored. The numerous everyday and cultural objects discovered here during archaeological excavations are on display in the exhibition and archives of the Archaeological Museum.

Plovdiv is the only city in Europe comprising three protected areas, with the biggest one being "Youth Hill" covering 36.2 ha. "Youth Hill" Natural Landmark was designated by the Ministry of Environment and Water by virtue of Ordinance No RD-466/22.12.1995. The natural landmark status preserves "Youth Hill" against any new construction, except for the maintenance of existing buildings, alleys, and park facilities. The protection regime of the hill provides for the preservation of the rocks and the natural park vegetation, non-disturbance of birds, non-encroachment on birds eggs, offspring, and nests. Lighting fire on the hill is also prohibited. Observing these rules, we can protect and preserve "Youth Hill" as an area of great significance for the relaxation and recreational needs of the big city. Fantastic View over Plovdiv

A wonderful place to seek salvation on hot summer days.

Unfortunately, the waterfall dried up at the end of September.

Beautiful. On one side southern Bulgaria, on the other side northern Bulgaria and you sometimes walk right along the ridge. Also perfect for day trips from the Troyan Pass (Beklemeto) to the Kozya Stena hut and back.

One of my favorite peaks. You can see a big part of the country to the north and south. Amazing views and panoramas. Also paths to the peak a nice there are no rocks or stones like Pirin and the highest parts of Rila. But the weather is probably the most dynamic in the country. Be prepared for a lovely day to a bad thunderstorm or heavy rain. Anyway, I totally recommend climbing the peak from all starting points. From everywhere is different and beautiful.

None, but an impressive waterfall straight out of the rock, which plunges into a small gorge.

The place is very nice and cool and there are plenty of picnic spots. On the way to it, as in the park itself, there are always people, so it is good to be careful. There are many ancient plane trees in the park itself and the walk there is worth it.
