If you want to stay in Europe but are still looking for adventure, Bulgaria is the ideal destination. The two highest mountains and the country's most important national parks - Pirin and Rila - have remained relatively quiet oases of intact nature to this day. For the Rother hiking guide »Bulgaria« 50 varied hikes in the two mountains.
Although the Pirin are predominantly rocky and in many places extremely alpine in character, the Rila Mountains are gentler. Both offer promising peaks, icy cirques with numerous lakes, rushing streams and waterfalls, as well as long valleys with idyllic meadows, knee-capped populations and fresh forests. Due to local conditions, the tours described are not circular walks, but are designed in such a way that they can be easily combined with multi-day activities. Some mountain experiences, a good physical condition, the willingness to gain new experiences and the ability to experience minor discomforts with peace and quiet are a requirement.
All travel suggestions are presented with clear brief information, exact route descriptions, meaningful elevation profiles and colored walking maps with a registered route. GPS data can be downloaded from the publisher's website. Numerous color photos give a first impression of this exciting region, which, through its beauty and originality, enchants anyone who openly opposes it.
