Balkan Trail
Have you ever been on a ride along ancient trails over impressive mountains, through waste mountain passes, along romping streams and roar waterfall? And further in the wonderful mountain scenery crossing the pasture to small hidden and forgotten villages? If not why don’t you join us on this exciting holiday, where every day brings new challenges, new terrains, new riding experiences and impressions on Bulgarian nature and culture… This is an adventurous ride for riders wishing to try everything. This is possible because here we combine trekking from place to place with our riding bases in the mountains.
The tour is following the ancient trails that for hundreds of years have connected the North of Bulgaria with its Southern parts across the Balkan Mountain, which lies as a backbone along the territory of Bulgaria. Starting from the charming town of Apriltsi, scattered among the rolling hills of the Fore-Balkan parts of the mountain, the route climbs up towards Mt. Botev (2376 m a.s.l.), descends on the southern side of the mountains reaching the Valley of Roses and Sredna Gora Mountains before going back along a different track. The daily rides range between 6 and 8 hrs.
