Natural, cultural and historical sites, interesting routes and ecopaths. A blog about travel and adventures.
I spent so many summer days near Pomorie as a child, but at that time I had no idea about the so interesting Thracian domed tomb located there… A couple of years ago I came across a post about the tomb and after a while I visited that amazing place. Although the temple is little-known, the access to it is quite easy and convenient. You can get there by car.
Years ago we stayed several times in the town of Chernomorets during the summer vacation. We walked in and around the town so many times, but we did not suspect that the area had more than a thousand year history. Yes, it is true, both now and for ages, the place has been in the shadow of Sozopol, former Apollonia, but the findings and bits of history discovered in the area of Chernomorets arise such a great interest.
Wonderful rocks is a fascinating place in Bulgaria, located in the Varna region. It is not on the beach, but close to it. We visited the spot during one of our recent summer holidays and we liked it a lot.
If you are spending your summer holiday on the Bulgarian Northern Black Sea coast or you have a trip to Varna and the region and want to try something different, then a boat or water bike stroll along the Kamchia River near its mouth will surely appeal to you. It was a rainy day in July 10 years ago, when I first embarked on the river. I was looking for a nice place to visit or for a little adventure near the sea. I found both along the Kamchia River.
Varna: Bulgaria’s maritime capital, the third largest city in the country, the port of Shoumen, according to a joke – all those are well-known definitions of our beautiful seaside city. In addition, this is one of my favorite Bulgarian cities. I usually spend my summer holiday on the Northern Black Sea, thus in the recent years I have not missed a year without visiting the city of Varna.
The White River Eco Trail is one of the best made and stable eco trails in Bulgaria I have ever gone through. The route of the trail has the shape of the figure 8 and runs in the picturesque gorge of the White River near the town of Kalofer. The gorge resides under the famous Dzhendema Reserve in the Central Balkan National park. You can see several waterfalls along the route. The air is clean and fresh. Moving up and down the wooden bridges and stairs warms the body blood. The good mood is guaranteed.
My year 2019 was especially impressive – for my first published book “52 Paths for Everyone”, and for the lots of places I visited here in Bulgaria and abroad. This is why I was quite difficult to select only 10 landmarks to include in this traditional for my blog listing.
Polignano a Mare – I must admit, was not among our top priorities when we visited Puglia in May. We had put the town in the “just in case we have time” column. Well, I’m glad we had enough time to visit it and got a sense of its spirit. Now in retrospect, I think that we had underestimated the town, but it was so worth visiting it – because of the beautiful sea views, the small quaint beach and the curious historic center with white buildings.
The article is devoted to the waterfall Goritsa (means a small forest) near the village of Ovchartsi in the northern slopes of Rila Mountains. The first time we visited the waterfall was a few years ago in a quite sunny and warm Sunday in July.
Very close to the Bachkovo Monastery – among the most famous Bulgarian monasteries and the second largest after the Rila Monastery – there is a waterfall that throws its waters in different directions. It is Bachkovo Falls – one of the most beautiful and quaint waterfalls in Bulgaria.
