In Ruse District the necessary opportunities for a sustainable development of the tourist branch are given. The potential for the establishment of a specialized tourist product, which will offer alternative forms of tourism like cultural (exploration/knowledge), rural and ecological tourism, is determined by the very good geographical and transport location, the rich culture-historical heritage and the beautiful natural resources, concentrated on a comparative small territory. The three municipalities in the District - Ruse, Ivanovo and Dve Mogili have the best potential to offer tourist services. The most interesting objects are: The Archeological reserve “Ivanovo rock churches”, the Archeological reserve “Cherven”, the Basarbovo rock monastery, the Natural park “Rusenski Lom”, the countryside along the river Rusenski Lom, the Wooden park “Lipnik”, the Park zone around the hut “Prista”, the island “Lyulyak”, the Cave “Orlova chuka” a.o.
