On the territory of the State Forestry territory Vratsa are located several protected natural attractions and historical monuments.

On the park`s territory occurs one of the most beautiful Bulgarian caves - "Ledenika", proclaimed for Natural sight and tourist object with international importance. The cave impress with great sizes, and during the winter grabs the visitor with it`s fine ice decoration, where from come it`s name.

The climbing area Vrachanski Skali (Vratsa Rocks) which is part of the Park gives wonderful opportunities for hiking. The rock massif "Vratsata" is a favourite of rock climbers where national and international alpine-style climbing competitions are held.
