Ride the Rodopi
ased in the Southern part of Bulgaria these are among the most mysterious mountains in the country-long ridges spreading wide, deep gorges, century-old pine forests and all waiting to be explored!! We start our week on the northern ribs of the Rodopi Mountains, with a great circular route around Velingrad before heading into the beautiful Rila National Park and to the higher reaches of the area and Bansko. Next stop is Pirin with routes through the beautiful canyon of the River Kanina Reka before reaching Lesten. A spot of culture follows at Kovatchevitsa village, with its amazing architecture before we head through deep forests to finish the week close to the ski resort of Bovorets and the Seven Sisters Lake and the ever charming Samokov.

Majestic Mountains
little more remote than the Ride The Rodopi' week, we start our week in style with two great routes around the Vratsa National Park and the amazing rock formations of Belogradchik. Next stop are some superb trails amongst wild conifer forests Tchuprene Reserve, close to the Serbian border and in an area few people have visited, never mind biked! Next and one of the best and without doubt the most beautiful mountain bike descents in Bulgaria as we head for Repliana and Tchiprovtsi, the trail taking us through lush conifer, beech and oak forests with superb views throughout. From here the scenery changes with the deep forests replaced by a vast valleys and winding rivers. We end our trip with a ride through the River Iskar Gorge before transferring to the Sofia for our final evening.
