Price: The starting point of this tourist route is two burial type Tekke in Obrochishte (Balchik Municipality, Dobrich). Built in the XVI century, it is a complex of religious buildings in which Muslims gather from the Alevi sect. The location was chosen because here the saint is buried Jak Yazala Baba, much honored by them.

Currently, the tomb is a division of the museum in the town of Balchik and the frescoes in it are declared cultural heritage.
