would like to know about trains from burgas to varna
Leaves 6.55 (am), 8.55 (am), 14.30 (2.30 pm) and 15.40 (3.40). Takes about four hours. Change at Karnobat. www.bahn.de
Yes, bahn.de lists reliable info for almost all European trains in English although it will only give you fares for/from Germany.
I prefer to use this link:
http://www.bahn.com/i/view/overseas/en/index.shtml
The Bulgarian railway website in English (where you might find fares) is:
http://bdz.creato.biz/en
but it is not working for me.
The Bulgarian railways website is best accessed by opening:
http://bdz.bg/
and clicking the orange EN button at the top. The English version does not have its own URLs; it's apparently a translation script that runs alongside.
I suppose that you've heard that there are also buses to Varna. The timetable can be found here:
http://www.bourgas.org/transport/#yug
Use google translate to make sure you're looking at the correct line (it is the top one). I expect the bus to take slightly over 2 hours to cover the 135km distance.
Hope this helps

The English translation search facility still does not work, even if I access it via the basic url you gave.
:-(
I know, it happens frequently these days even with the Bulgarian-language version. However, the BDZ IT staff is known for using Stone Age technology :( Let's hope they'll fix it soon.
Buses are more regular and faster and only slightly more exspensive than the train. However if you are a train enthusiast it can be quite an interesting journey. Be aware that the connections at Karnobat can be a pain as the trains don't always run on time and all the announcements will be in Bulgarian regarding timings and platform numbers.
I would recommend you the bus to the train. The train goes to the inner part of the country a bit and you won't enjoy the beautiful views of the sea. If you take the bus you will have this pleasure, though. I guess the price is almost the same.
Bourgas is a thriving tourist town in the summer months.
The main street in Bourgas, running from the area around the port, the railway station and the main bus terminal to Bourgas University, is ulitsa Aleksandrovska.
A number of shops and outdoor cafes can be found along this tree-lined street.
The second main street in Bourgas is ulitsa Aleko Bogoridi, which heads eastwards from ulitsa Aleksandrovska towards the Maritime Park.
As Bulgaria's "other" (I use the word carefully, having taken legal advice) major commercial and naval port my researches discover that Varna is the base for the Bulgarian Navy's submarine squadron.
Varna's submarine squadron is actually a single "Romeo Class" boat which was Soviet-built in the 1950's and is pretty much considered obsolete. Burgas however just has to keep competing and has built two of its own.
So here's Bourgas's submarine fleet - I just hope that they know that Varna is the base for the anti-submarine squadron too ;))
Sinemoretz is a small village situated about 100 km south of Burgas and 10 km from the Turkish border. In the past years it has become quite a popular spot for tourists seeking less populated beaches and nice nature. AtSinemortz the Veleka river flows into the sea and separates the village from the wooded hills. Just before flowing in the river runs parallel to the sea so there's a small stretch of beach about 5 meters wide that has water on both sides so you can bathe in the sea or river.
In my highschool days I went camping with some friends in the wooded hills ( that was illegal). The hill was a perfect spot for watching the sunrise. We brought water from the village, the boys caught fish in the sea and crabs in the river, and cooked them on the camp fire. A guitar, a few bottles of vodka, and a huge sack of vegetables added to the bliss. We spent the whole days on the sea/river beach and returned to our hidden campsite only at night...We only went to the vilage to get water or maybe buy a loaf of bread, so as far as I remember, I didn't spend more than 2 or 3 levs ($1-2) for the five days there. I don't know whether that's possible now, more than 10 years later...
Check out all photos...
The museum exposition represents the life style and the customs of the people living in Bourgas region. Special attention is paid to Buglarian customs Martenitsa, Kukeri and Nestinarstvo. There is a collection of Bulgarian traditional costumes.
The museum is located in a house from the middle of the 19th century.
