Cycling through the Bulgarian rose fields

Cycling through the Bulgarian rose fields

Producing around 85% of the world’s rose oil, the Bulgarian rose fields are not only a valuable economic asset, but also part of a centuries-old tradition, and there is hardly a better way to enjoy these ancient lands than crossing them on bike. This is a 5-day cycling experience which is going to immerse you in one of the most unique regions of the country, filled with beautiful sceneries and rose flavor. Besides the natural sceneries you will also be able to enjoy the landmark wine of the region and some sites left by Thracians the most ancient inhabitants of the area.

To get the best experience on this trip we strongly recommend booking it at the beginning of June when the roses are collected and the area is full of life and rose flagrance!

Cycling through the Bulgarian rose fields (Rated 4.71 / 5 Based on 269 Reviews.)

Most of you, who are used to walking/cycling during a long weekend, will be in condition to cope with a tour of this level. You should be in a good health condition. We have successive days of longer and more difficult walking and days of lighter walking/cycling. Some parts of the day routes are done at a higher altitude. The paths are in good condition. We walk/cycle for 5/7h a day.

These tours include trekking which is a little harder, normally on a challenging terrain. We take it for granted that you are in good condition and fit. You should be physically prepared at home to get the maximum of the tour. Most of the trekking is done at a greater height (max 3000m).
