Smile Bulgaria The Unknown

Hello Everyone! As a biker, and Bulgarian, I would like to share places and routes with you from my country. It is a common crossing country for the ones headed from Europe to the middle east, but we have such a great number gem-destinations, the ones that are out of the map, somewhere away from the commercial and the popular.

So here I will post some destinations I hope you would love.

Hi neighbor.
Somehow, I never visited Bulgaria, by bike. Maybe next year. Can you give me few routes with I should not miss (for a weekend ride)? Forests and lakes are welcomed. I prefer small roads, some easy off road is not a problem. More important is beauty of nature.
Thanks for vids.

Hi!

Me and my girlfriend will be in Bulgaria from the 16 to the 21 of August this summer. We're planning to spend that time between Sofia and the beach (most likely south of Burgas). Any recommendations regarding the coast?

She is flying back on the 21 and I have to be in Athens five days later, so I was planning to explore the mountains in the border with Greece those days. Could you recommend some routes? Is it possible/easy/legal to camp there?

Thank you very much!

Bulgaria is beautiful

Been there this summer, Sofia, Plovdiv, Rila Monestary, Melnik, Albena, Kaliakra, Albenasi, Bojentji and lots and lots more. And for sure : not expensive!
Really a great trip. Did 6600 km on my NC700X Netherlands - Bulgaria and back.
