Two days after a landslide buried an establishment on the beach of Balchik, an inspection of the area began.

The injured man and woman are in good condition and recovering, but are still under observation in the hospital, BNT reported.

The landslide has been active for the third day now.

Today, around 10:00 - 11:00, the outflow of sand and earth mass stopped for a short time, but around noon it was activated again.

It became clear what is the main version about the landslide near Albena

According to the local people, there are three shafts built that are supposed to bring out underground water, but there are no pipelines for them.

According to drawings, the shafts were built under the control of the state directorate "Geoprotection". 

"There are three sumps built that should lead the groundwater to the sea with pipelines. Such pipelines are missing and, as you can see at the moment, water is flowing freely on the rock from these wells, which suggests that this is the case. And this water has caused the present landslide," commented Vladko Vladev, owner of a neighboring property in the area.

Another version of the landslide is a broken pipeline to the Albena resort.
