Adventure with Archi in Hisarya: Mystical Trails and Augmented Reality

An adventure with Archi in Hisarya invites you to discover the town through its archaeological secrets and sacred places. With Piligrim, sightseeing becomes a journey through time: five mystical trails bring together the spa town's history, religious diversity and present-day character. A book, QR markers and an augmented reality app help you see its landmarks from a different perspective.

A town adventure combining history and technology

If you enjoy uncovering traces of the past and have a sense of adventure, these five engaging sightseeing routes offer a way into Hisarya's archaeological heritage. Your virtual guide is Archi, who accompanies you along the trails. Modern technology helps introduce the town's history, different religious traditions and contemporary identity, adding another dimension to your walk.

The experience also includes a special talisman called Zdravets. A symbol of protection and strength, it is your companion on this journey through history, archaeology and sacred places.

Five mystical trails through Hisarya

The Piligrim book introduces all five trails and provides QR markers for each one. Their themes offer different starting points for exploring the town's religious and historical heritage:

• Christian Mysteries.
• The Road to Golgotha.
• The Gardens of Eden.
• Heresies.
• Two Religions – One Direction.

The routes connect with one another, allowing you to explore their shared story through different themes without necessarily visiting the most distant sites.

Augmented reality with Piligrim Quest

Bring a mobile phone with a charged battery if you want to use the Piligrim Quest augmented reality app. The virtual guide and digital elements complement the real places you visit, offering a different way to get to know Hisarya.

Choose how to reach the outlying sites

Two of the sites are on the outskirts of town. You can decide whether to reach them on foot, by bicycle or using another form of transport. If you would rather leave these more distant stops out, you can skip them: the routes remain interconnected.

What the experience includes

• A Piligrim book presenting the five mystical trails in Hisarya, with QR markers for each route.
• A surprise gift.
• Entry into a prize draw.

The adventure also features the Zdravets talisman, a symbolic companion for your exploration.

Optional admission to three historic sites

You can add admission to three sites: Hisarya Archaeological Museum, the Roman Baths and the Roman Tomb. This extra is offered for either one or two people.

The ticket covering these three sites is valid for seven days from its date of issue. That period applies to the admission ticket, not to the experience voucher. Collect the Piligrim book and site admission tickets from Hisarya Archaeological Museum.
