Explore Bulgarian monasteries and history on a bike.
This bike tour takes you on a journey through Bulgaria's history, visiting some of the most interesting monasteries in the country. These religious buildings are monuments to the last 700 years of Bulgarian history. The tour also offers breathtaking views of the green embrace of the Balkan Mountains, including beautiful waterfalls, caves, rock cliffs, forests, vast meadows, rivers, and valleys, combined with crop and potato fields. We will ride through the Central part of the Balkan Mountains, exploring many scattered villages nestled among quiet valleys and beautiful green mountain landscapes. It feels like time has stopped here and life is quiet and peaceful, with people still using horse-driven carts, looking after small herds of sheep, goats, and cattle, cutting grass in the old-fashioned way, taking care of small vegetable gardens, or simply sitting in front of their houses and chatting with smiles on their faces.
