Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, start from the nearest major city, Stara Zagora. Head east on the A1 highway towards Plovdiv. After about 50 kilometers, take the exit towards Radnevo (exit 158). Continue on the local road for approximately 10 kilometers until you reach the village of Horizont. Upon entering the village, follow the signs indicating the direction to the Horizont Thracian Tumulus, which is located just outside the village. There's usually ample parking available near the site.

Public Transportation

To reach Horizont Thracian Tumulus via public transport, take a bus from Stara Zagora to Radnevo. Buses run frequently and the journey takes about 45 minutes. Upon arriving in Radnevo, you can catch a local minibus or taxi to Horizont village. The minibus service is less frequent, typically running every hour, so it's advisable to check the local schedule beforehand. The final distance to the Tumulus is about 5 kilometers from Radnevo, and the taxi fare should be around 5-10 BGN.

Walking

If you're feeling adventurous and are already in the village of Horizont, you can reach the Tumulus by walking. The site is about a 15-20 minute walk from the center of the village. Just follow the road heading northeast out of the village. The path is well-marked, and you will see the Tumulus elevated in the distance.
