It represents the biome of a mixed mountain system of a complex zoning of the Balkan biogeographical region characterized by the coexistence of relict and sub-Mediterranean types. It shows fine examples of geological processes which are of major scientific interest. The Vratsa Karst furnishes a striking illustration of the evolution of certain types of fauna.

The Vratsa Karst incudes remarkably beautiful geomorphological formations and natural scenery, and all the Karst phenomena and forms: vortexes, hollows, Karst precipices and caverns.
