Pirin-Rodopi Mountain Trek (Bulgaria)

Pirin-Rodopi Mountain Trek (Bulgaria) 730 , 7 Days

This trek takes you to the jagged alpine peaks of The Pirin Mountains and the peaceful green meadows and thick forests of The Rhodope Mountains – the home of Orpheus. This tour is a lighter edition of the Pirin-Rila trek, which combines the high and challenging Pirin Mountain's beauty with the serenity of the Rhodope Mountains. During the trek, you explore some of Bulgaria's remote and forgotten regions. Mountain border villages, which in the near past had been closed for foreign visitors, enable the tourists to experience a part of the original Bulgarian culture and life in the countryside. Throughout the tour we also visit caves and the 2nd biggest Bulgarian Monastery.

Highlights:
Small mountain villages, providing close look at the typical way of living – history, traditions, cuisine
Yagodina Cave - considered to be one of the most beautiful in Europe and The Devil's Throat Cave having one of the highest underground waterfalls in Europe (42 m).
Bachkovo Monastery - the second largest Bulgarian monastery.
Plovdiv old town - one of the oldest European towns contemporary to Troy and Mikena.

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).

Few destinations pack this much variety into one trip. You can haggle in a Marrakech souk at noon, watch the sun set over Sahara dunes the next evening, and sip mint tea in a blue mountain village two days later. This...
