Bulgaria's idyllic terrain, impressive historical wonders and heartwarming culture is ready to be discovered by bike.
Off-the-beaten path Europe is hard to find these days, but this biking Bulgaria trip fits the bill. Alongside a wonderfully well-preserved culture, full of ancient ruins and medieval churches, lies beautiful back-country, hearty local cuisine, a distinguished regional wine culture, and a plethora of traditional spas. All perfect for exploring on two wheels.
Wild Countryside
There’s no shortage of fresh air and good views on a cycling tour through Bulgaria. For millennia, the country’s rocky and wild wilderness has captivated locals and travelers alike. Neolithic cave paintings predate rock-hewn Orthodoxian churches and Bulgaria’s mountain ranges have some of Europe’s best hiking and skiing outside of the Alps. Pedal past quaint, medieval villages as you wind through rocky gorges filled with rushing rivers.
History through flavour
What better way to experience the mutli-layered history of Bulgaria than through its food? Dig in to fresh Greek salads, topped with a dollop of Slavic-inspired sour cream. And enjoy fantastic feasts of breads and pastries, alongside Middle Eastern-spiced sausages and kebabs. Unwind at the end of your day by sampling a glass (or two!) of the famed local Bulgarian wines.
The cross-roads of Europe and Asia
Lifestyles and cultures have developed in this region over thousands of years influenced by the Thracians, Illyrians, Greeks, Romans and Slavs. Traversing between old and ancient, mountains and valleys, churches and mosques, will be the highlights of this tour through central Bulgaria. It’s Bulgaria at its unspoiled best, a cache of natural beauty and ancient history, comfortable accommodations, and fresh cuisine in idyllic surroundings.
