Great trip in high Bulgarian mountains.A fantastic sense of achievement in completing all the walks and summitting the peaks.Wonderful views throughout.Walking is tough and should not be considered for someone with little walking experience day 2 walk and penultimate days walk are tough due to the terrain
Discover these trails before the secret gets out This was a great opportunity for some proper hiking along pristine trails in the Balkan high country. Routes almost to ourselves, with a mix of terrains and environments from deep forest and river valley, to high meadows, glacial moraines and narrow ridges. Plenty of flora and fauna to discover along the way, against a backdrop of incredible scenery.
This was a hard-work holiday, but so worth it. It was far more varied than we'd expected. Each mountain was very different, from bare-rock splendour to a weather and military station with a kiosk serving tea! Blazing sun to hail and thunder, beech woods to alpine meadows and pastures, village hotel with live local music and dancing to sightseeing in the capital city,culture to wildflowers, glacial lakes with romantic legends to ski resorts, weird rock formations tomonastery buildings and, best of all, the incredibly varied scenery and views, oh, the views!
