Your Itinerary
Day 1:
1. Our tour begins with transfer from Sofia to the mountain resort of Pamporovo .The Perelik hotel where we'll spend two nights is at 1500 m above sea level and is surrounded by old and beautiful coniferous forests. There is a breathtaking view of the pine clad mountains from the hotel. This is likely what you will remember of the Central Rodope. Along the road we'll stop for sightseeing at Bachkovo monastery.

Day 2:
2. Transfer /about two ours/ to Trigrad gorge /Rodope mountain/. The Trigrad gorge area is part of the Rodope mountains but it is something other than the rounded hills covered with coniferous forests near the Perelik hotel, where we'll be accommodated in the evening. The first thing that impresses the person are the huge cliffs towering above us and the deep rocky valleys, where one can hardly see the meandering of the Trigrad river. Strange trees of black pine (local subspecies) grow straight from the rocks without any soil. Time and again we are convinced of nature's grandeur strangeness. Well, this is but a sketchy description of this extraordinary site with caves and rumble of the waterfalls. A person can hardly get a real impression of the gorge if he does not see it with his own eyes. This exceptionally beautiful area is 1200 m above sea level. It is approximately an hour away from the hotel in Pamporovo. We will have an easy hike about 2 km , along the road to reach the real gorge. Depending on the time left we expect to visit also Yagodina Cave, where we'll have another 2 km easy hike. The cave is an exceptionally long underground formation. 1500 m of it are made suitable for visit. It is exceptionally beautiful with its inner halls, narrow corridors, and thousands-of-years-old stalactites, stalagmites and stalactons, which descend and ascend from everywhere around us. Temperature is about 5 C so be prepared with some extra clothing. The walk is very easy and pleasant, we are accompanied by a local guide. In the evening our vehicle will bring us to Perelik hotel. Dinner and spending the night at the hotel.

Day 6:
6. A trip to Kaliakra reserve . This is the real steppe for as far as the eye can see there is only steppe interspersed here and there with scrub and small stunted trees. The steppe is traversed by unexpectedly deep valleys. The coast is rocky, with vertical reddish orange cliffs descending over 150 m into the clear bluish green depths of the sea. In front of us are the remains of the ancient Kaliakra fortress, which is shrouded in legends. We'll have here an easy hike about 2 km along the rocky coast and among the ruins. A lunch at the local restaurant follows. In the afternoon we'll visit the Yailata reserve, with another easy hike, of 2 km along the rocky sea coast.
