Rosarium-Herbarium
A boutique place where roses, herbs, and Bulgarian traditions come to life
Only about 20 minutes from Varna, in the village of Neofit Rilski, right next to the Historical Park, you will discover an extraordinary place, created with great love for nature, Bulgarian traditions, and family values.
Rosarium-Herbarium is not just a garden. It's not a museum. It's not a park. It's a small, fragrant, and soulful place, spanning 4.5 decares, created for people who seek beauty, tranquility, and meaningful encounters with nature.
There's no noise here. No hurried everyday life. There's the scent of roses, the song of plants, stories about herbs, and the feeling that time seems to stand still.
What's in the Rosarium
Bulgaria's first musical garden
What does a rose sound like? Or a mint? Or lavender? In the Rosarium-Herbarium, you will hear the music of living plants, transformed into melody through special technology that registers their electrical impulses.
"The Golden Herbs of Bulgaria"
The world's only collection of real medicinal plants — over 60 species of medicinal herbs, immortalized through special technology and covered with 24-karat gold. Each plant is natural and carries its symbolism, uniqueness, and melody.
A special place in the exhibition is occupied by the Golden Wheat Ear — a symbol of the "Garden of the World," which His Holiness Pope Francis received in the Vatican.
"The Golden Rose of Bulgaria"
The largest author's sculpture dedicated to the Bulgarian oil-bearing rose — a favorite spot for photos among our visitors.
Four thematic gardens
Stroll through:
All of this is spread over 4.5 decares of beautifully landscaped gardens. For your convenience, there is also free parking.
Collection of rare books
Explore the largest private collection of books over 130 years old, dedicated to folk medicine, medicinal plants, family health culture, and Bulgarian traditions. A true treasure for history and knowledge enthusiasts.
