Hiking in Rila Mountain

by hekate

If you are into hiking you will love Rila Mountain. The nature there impresses with its magnificent beauty and the remarkable landscapes. You will find there wide variety of plants and animals, some of them rear and threatened species. The whole Rila mountain is studded with tourist chalets and shelters. Places of interest - the Seven Rila lakes- the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula - Musala peak (2925m.)- Rila monastery If you want to read more for Rila: Check the link below or have a look at my Rila page

swimming

by ettenaj

All along the front in Golden Sands are swimming pools for the use of anyone who wants to use them. I think you may have to buy a drink from the bar but it is a great idea for if you have a hotel with no pool you could use anyone of these. Really geared up for families, congratulations for that!!

Snowboarding

by snowbrdr

Snowboarding at Bansko is great, when the weather is good. There is quite alot of steep terrain and It is especially good on weekdays when it is not busy or crowded.The hill is quite new and there is a Gondola that takes you from town up to the top, which is included in your lift pass price.Beware if you are used to only riding Groomers, the hill can be quite textured and most is ungroomed. The wind can prevent the higher chairs from opening, and when it rains you may as well give up and head for the bars in town.Food on the hill is very pricy by Bulgarian standards, and there is little selection if you dont eat meat. Snowboard hire is available, but I took my own Borad. most hotels have ski storage available.You can get your edges sharpened for about 2 lev, but I coudn't find a place to get a decent Wax job.

Skiing in Pamporvo

by corney

Pamporvo is the smaller of Bulgaria's two major ski resorts. It has 8 chairs and t-bars and a variety of terrain. Perhaps the best point is the number of on slope cafe's where you can enjoy a brandy and hot chocolate between runs.

Mountaineering

by ger4444

If you are interested in mountaineering but do not have the equipment for it and don?t want to hire this equipment (I do not know if hiring is possible at all) you wont have a problem in Bulgaria. Of course its, as it comes to mountaineering, more excited to choose the highest mountains. Well, in the Pirin mountains you can find the second highest mountain of Bulgaria; that is the mt. Vihren (over 2900 meters). To climb this mountain you don?t need equipment. You can climb the path, although sometimes its though for the path is steep. It can be helpful to have a stick with you. At the mt. Vihren I saw seniors easily climbing up and down the mountain while wearing sandals on their feeds. However, I really commend to wear at least hiking-boots. For, the weather in the mountains can suddenly change abrupt and then you find yourself in the pouring rain, trying to get down from the mountain...

Deep sea sports

by ger4444

Unfortunalely, the deep-sea sport facilties in Bulgaria were not satisfactory. At the Black see there were nowhere agencies or sport-organisations who were able to offer deep-sea sports. i was told that it had something to do with the Black sea not being deep enough for these kinds of sports. So the following underwater sports cannot be practised in Bulgaria: 1) underwater golf. (Underwatergolf fields have not yet been cultivated) 2) Underwatertennis. (There are however at some resorts some rather 'primitive' facilities for this activity, but a net or lines on the court are not present yet) 3) underwater boxing. (Allthough this sport is getting more popular in bulgaria, there are still disigning problems with the divinssuits for the boxers; they are not resisted yet to severe puches in f.e. the diving-glasses)However, underwaterchess is at the moment of writing everywhera along the...

Water sports

by ger4444

Water sports are poor in Bulgaria. I was at the Black sea coast and found out that the facilities where not quite overwhelming. I haven?t seen surfers, bodyboarders or jetskiers at all. However, in Albena ? the ?sportscapital of Bulgaria? ? there ought to be facilities I heard. What about swimming then? The beaches of Zlatni Pyasatsi (Golden Sands) are famous for being sandy, long and clean. The water is ? in summer ? warm and pleasnt to swim in, although the prominently present jellyfish in the water may not be so attractive. The lakes in the mountains are, in case the weather is good, also a fantastic place to swim. They are clear, small and calm and are in situated in a beautiful scenery. Especially the Ribno lake was appealing. It was however so frustrating that there were no jet skiing- and speedboatfacilities on the lake?

Hiking

by ger4444

There are numerous of hiking trails in Bulgaria. There are trails for short hikes and for long-distance hikes. The tracks start at the village or town situated next to the mountain area (mostly this area is a national park). In these towns and villages however, the exact place, where the track starts can be difficult to find. Best ask at the local tourist information. Or, at the office, that is responsible for the national park in which the tracks are situated. These offices can provide you a lot of ý free ý information, like maps etc. I was at the Pirin National Park office and these guys where really helpful to give me all the necessary info. That is, because not many tourist come to these offices, so that they like a little distraction I guess! The trail on the maps and on the signposts are yellow, red, green and blue. These signs mostly show also the names of the mountainhuts the...

Biking

by ger4444

In Bulgaria I did some biking in the countryside and it was just great! Itýs a pleasant way of getting around or explore little village in the neighboarhood of the town you are staying. However, since there are many mountains in the county it also can be very though. If you are interested in a mountainbike trip, I can recommend the area around Gabrovo. You can rent mountain bikes via tourist offices that cooperate with Stara Planina. The main office of Stara Planina is in Gabrovo; the other branches can be found in Troyan and Teteven. Other places where you can rent bikes are: the Odysseia-In Travel in Sofia (take a mountainbike to the mt. Vitosha, to Aleko!) Biking in Bulgaria is really in some way a bit challenging: the roads are often ij a bad condition, so that you often are bumping over the bumps and holes in the road so that you are getting very tired in your arms. Also traffic can...
