Itinerary

Day 1

I offer half day, full day or several days guided walks not only in the Troyan Balkan, but all around Bulgaria. The degree of difficulty varies from a leisure walk in the forest to a several days climb of an alpine peak, so together we will choose the trek that is most suited for you and your friends or family.

During some of the tracks climbing uphill prevails, in others you mostly descend or walk on the flat. This enables me to pick the adventure, according to your wish and physical abilities at the moment.

Some experiences not to miss are dipping in a hot water mineral pool after a hard days walk or enjoying the heat of the fireplace in a remote mountain hut.

SAMPLE TOUR:

Day 1 - 4-5 hours hiking to Zelenikovo monastery (ascend 600 m). Situated up in the Troyan Balkan mountains in the middle of nowhere, built in 1832 for privacy as a branch of the Troyan Monastery and named after St. Joan the Precursor. Absolutely remote place with no electricity/water! Overnight.

Day 2

4 hours hiking to Ambaritza hut, just below Ambaritza peak (ascend 600-700 m). If there is not too much snow, we might climb the peak in the afternoon. Overnight.

Day 3

8 hours hiking Ambaritza hut-Neshkovci-Steneto area (one of the most beautiful places in Bulgaria)-Dermenka hut-Beklemeto (descent 600 m ascend 600 m). End of the tour.
