You will pass by various shops and cafes along the way. Once you reach the entrance to the park, follow the path that leads uphill to the Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument.

  If you prefer to take public transport, walk to the nearest bus stop, which is 'Shumen - Avtogara' (bus station). From there, take bus number 1 or 2 towards 'Shumen - Monument.' The journey takes about 10-15 minutes. Once you arrive at the stop, disembark and follow the pedestrian signs that direct you towards the Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument, which is a short 5-minute walk from the bus stop.

• Bicycle

  For those who wish to cycle, start from the Shumen city center and head towards Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd. Continue on this road for approximately 1 km, then turn left onto a cycle path that leads directly to the park.
