Horse Rides in Bulgaria
|
|
If at a certain point you decide to plunge into the wild nature of Bulgaria, better forget about the comfort of modern car or bus transport. The best way to move about would be on horseback. Feel the wind in your hair, tearing the air on horseback among centuries’ old pine forests or broad planes taking you to the horizon. One of the ways to stray away from the burden of modern civilization could be the horse-rides to the beauty sites of Bulgarian wild nature. There are many places in this country, where one can find very well trained horses for the purpose. The horse centers would also provide you with a specialized guide who would take you along narrow paths or dust roads following the steep relief of the highlands across the Central Balkan Range, the Rhodope Mountains and Stranja. In the Pirin Mountain you may be offered one of the special local Karakachan breed – a very strong and resistant type of horse capable of overcoming with ease even the steepest mountain slopes. The keenest fans of horse ride vacations in Bulgaria are guests from Scandinavian countries, Belgium, the UK and Germany. They undertake one-week rides, using accommodation at small family hotels, guesthouses or camping sites. Horseback hikes in Bulgaria, however, offer a combination of beautiful nature, varied landscape and meetings with a specific culture and ethnographic realities. The routes we choose pass through nature reserves and ethnographic villages. Along the way the riders can see interesting archeological sites, related to the millennial history of one of the oldest states in Europe. |
