Hike in The Central Balkan National Park
Description
This is an amazing walk in the Central Balkan National Park. The trail offers real wilderness in combination with cozy touristic huts. The landscape is varied. It comprises ancient beech and coniferous forests where the average age of the trees is around 150 years, high-mountain meadows and narrow rocky strips along the main mountain crest. It is part of the E3 European long-distance walking route. The Balkan mountain gives the name of the Balkan Peninsula. This tour offers many opportunities for hiking all year round. We offer this hike in several options depending on your preferences-with transport or without transport, with a guide or without a guide. If you prefer with transport, we will pick you up from Sofia or Plovdiv.

We hiked up to the water fall in the pouring rain the route was steeper than expected, but felt doable with a reasonable level of fitness and experience well worth the visit. 3.3h up and down well marked out. Cost about £12 in a cab from Sofia central with the yellow cabs recommended downloading the their app
This was my first winter hike ever and Emil and Veneta did everything possible to make sure it was comfortable and fun. Not only are they extremely kind and warm people, but I learned so much from their vast knowledge about the mountains and it's forests. I also felt extremely safe (even in the sometimes difficult weather conditions) due to their experience and familiarity with the trails. The hike is expertly planned, with comfortable accommodation each night and the most beautiful views and trails. I really couldn't recommend this experience more!
Dear Tess and Dina, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this great review and for the lovely hike we had with you! We thoroughly enjoyed how prepared you were - from equipment to knowledge about our region, and a delightful companion for a chat. We wish you many joyful hikes around the world, but be sure that if you come back to Bulgaria, we will be more than happy to meet you again! Veneta
