Description

A large, encompassing range of beautiful peaks, the Rhodopes mountains in Bulgaria are a wonder worth experiencing. And during the summer season, this beautiful range is proud to show off its true, vibrant, natural self.

It is my goal over the course of 4 days, that you will get to appreciate this enormous region over the course of a long, adventurous, varied hiking tour.

You will have the opportunity to not only see the beautiful peaks of the Rhodopes, but to climb one of them as well! That peak is Mount Karluk, and you will get to scale it on the third day of this trip. Another wonderful aspect of this hiking tour is the different local villages you will get to visit. They include Trigrad, Gela, Jagodina, and Devin, which will be our starting and ending point. The villages will give you the chance to spend some time with the local people in the Rhodopes as you will be spending every night in a local hotel or guesthouse. Thus giving this trip a more immersed dimension.

Along with the peaks and villages, there are also amazing caves, lakes, waterfalls and ridges, too. But it’s not necessarily the specific highlights that makes this 4 day hike so amazing. Instead, it’s the combination of those highlights, resulting in a whole package that this region presents so incredibly. This is a trip that caters perfectly to anybody who wants to appreciate the kind of gorgeous, natural scenery that the Rhodopes provides in abundance.

So if that is the kind of adventure you are looking for, then send me a request, and join me on this spectacular 4 day hiking trip. You will neither regret, nor forget it.

I can also take you on this 2 day hike through the breathtaking seven Rila lakes.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
