Summary

A comprehensive examination of the pilgrim route known as 'The Holy Path,' which traces the journey of St. Ivan (John) of Rila's relics from 1469, reveals a rich tapestry of karst regions and rock-hewn cultural-historical heritage. This path, spanning diverse geographical and historical landscapes, offers significant potential for preservation and digitalization to enhance its attractiveness and educational value.
