This beautiful Balkan region has an enormous cultural and historic heritage. The research shows that in the park were situated settlements of the Thracian and Illyrian tribes from the stone ages. In the regions Hisralaka, Daula, Dzendema, Djuleva reka, Mollova kurija can be seen ruins of walls and coverings from the fortress Tuida, the settlements Marichino and Marinino, healing springs and ancient roads. The foundations of churches and monasteries, called Slivenska malka sveta gora (small Holy wood), built in thirteenth – fourteenth century, were preserved during the years.

The haiduti movement (liberation movement during the Turkish yoke) is interrelated with the region – there is hardly a gorge, spring or a spot which do not invoke memories for certain events in the life of the brave voivodi (folk leaders) Hadhji Dimitar, Panaiot Hitov, Georgi Trankin, Stoil voivoda, the Apostle of liberty Vassil Levski.

On the territory of the park along the rivers Asenovska, Manastirska and Novoselska there still exist and function 20 plashes, which are part of the built in the XVIII-XIX century system of splashes, fulling-mills and mills. In the gorge of Selishka river is situated the first broadcloth factory in Bulgaria built by Dobri Zeljazkov in 1834.

Many traditional holidays and rites are related with the mountain, for example – Todorovden - the holiday of the horses, called also “Horses’ Easter”, Enjovden – on this day traditionally the local people pick herbs at sunrise, Preobrazenie – the day when traditionally all religious people dip into the healing water of Kushbunar spring. Very interesting are the singing competitions which are organized in the village of Albanovo and the annual summit of karakachans (an ethnic group in Bulgaria) which take place in the region of Karandila.

The Nature Park Sinite Kamani is famous for its nature landmarks. “Halkata” (the Ring) – the arc-shaped stone garland, possessing, according to the legends, magic force - is one of the symbols of the town of Sliven. The forms that the nature has sculptured in the cave Zmeevi dupki (Dragon’s holes) – Zmejat (the Dragon), Orelat (the Eagle) and Vladishkija tron (the Bishop’s throne) are amazing. The ancient beech forest in the vicinity of the Kushbunar spring in the region of Karandila is quite picturesque.

The north and northwest winds, the wind called “bora”, famous also as “the wind of the town of Sliven” and the night breeze are typical for the region. Through the park flow many rivers and their beds form numerous shoots, pools and waterfalls.
