http://bulgariatravel.org/en/object/247/Ritlite_prirodna_zabelejitelnost: Ritlite is a natural landmark, situated on an area of 123 ha on the left bank of the Iskar river above the village of Lyutibrod. It consists of four almost parallel upright walls, 200 meters long, and a railway line passes beneath them. ... The name of the natural landmark comes from their similarity with the side barriers of an ox cart (ritli). Remains of old fortified walls are visible along the peaks. The settlement of Korintgrad, called Koritengrad by the locals, was situated east from the rocks. Remains of more than nine medieval Bulgarian churches have been found in the region.
