Landmarks
editThe Rock Tomb-Sanctuary located in neighboring village Rogach, is situated 9 km (5.6 miles) southwest of Doborsko. This archaeological location, found on a cliff by the Krumovitsa River, is revered for its two small rock impressions, known locally as "The Steps of Ali." These marks, resembling human footprints, are considered sacred by the local community.
In the village of Glumovo, 21 km (13 miles) northeast of Doborsko, a memorial honors 40,000 Thracian refugees who died in the area. The memorial includes a chapel, a monument, and a fountain and is the site of the National Youth Thracian Festival, or Thracian Child’s Day, held annually on June 1st, aligning with the International Day for the Protection of Children.

The town also boasts a museum with over 2,000 exhibits housed in a building designated as a cultural monument.
