It is a seaside ledge, separated from the Dobrudzhansko Plateau by 50-60-metre cliff massifs.
Numerous monuments can be found in the area of the reserve. They date back from different ages. 101 caves have been documented - single ones or in groups. They had been used as homes for thousands of years, some of them used to be tombs or churches. Some of the excavated tools date back to the 5th century BC.
There are three necropolis scooped in the cliff massif. They constitute two-chamber family tombs that have an antechamber and a grave chamber, dating back to 3-5 century. Necropolis 1 has the greatest number of tombs that have been discovered. It had emerged around a sanctuary engraved into the cliff, turned towards the rising sun.
