    Rural Bulgaria at its best! Quiet forestry tracks, nice accommodations with charming hosts, home-made food... topped with right on time transfers and route descriptions detailed enough to make you feel safe along the trails. If you are looking for a peaceful holiday away of the crowds this is the right place for you!
