Desde Sofía : Belene - Campamentos Comunistas, Ruinas Romanas & Vida Silvestre
Descripción
Algunos destinos son hermosos. Algunos son históricos. Muy pocos son ambos - y casi ninguno viene con una historia que nadie más está contando. La isla de Belene se encuentra en medio del Danubio entre Bulgaria y Rumania. En un solo día extraordinario estarás de pie donde los soldados romanos controlaban la frontera del Imperio, entrarás en una iglesia que se convirtió en un santuario para los mártires ejecutados por su fe, caminarás por el campo de trabajo más significativo de la era comunista de Bulgaria y verás a los pelícanos dálmatas deslizarse sobre los humedales del Danubio. Pero esto es lo que hace que este tour sea verdaderamente único. El campo comunista cerró en 1989, pero la isla de Belene nunca dejó de ser un lugar de confinamiento. Una prisión activa funciona aquí hoy, justo al lado del parque conmemorativo y las ruinas romanas. La historia aquí no está detrás del cristal. Todavía está sucediendo. Máximo 8 invitados. Garantizado desde 1 reserva. El único tour como este desde Sofía. Nota : copia del pasaporte requerida al menos 48 horas antes de la salida - arreglamos su permiso.

Itinerario
Parada 1 - Ciudad de Belene : Dimum de la Aduana Romana e Iglesia Católica Ubicación : Ciudad de Belene, norte de Bulgaria - aprox. 3 horas de Sofía Tiempo de parada: aprox. 1 hora Su primera parada es la propia ciudad de Belene, donde se encuentran dos extraordinarios capítulos de la historia. La aduana romana Dimum, construida a finales del siglo I a. C., fue un puesto fronterizo que controlaba el movimiento a través del Danubio en el borde del mundo conocido. Luego la Iglesia Católica de la Natividad de la Santísima Virgen María, construida en 1860, un santuario para Monseñor Eugenio Bosilkov y otros tres sacerdotes arrestados y ejecutados en 1952. Su crimen fue la fe. Bosilkov fue beatificado por el Papa Juan Pablo II en 1998. Dos mil años de historia en un corto paseo.
Parada 2 - El Punto de Control : Cruzando a la Isla Persin Ubicación: Punto de control de la isla Persin, Belene Tiempo de parada: aprox. 10 minutos Este es el momento que hace que Belene sea diferente a cualquier otra gira en Bulgaria. Para entrar en la isla de Persin debe pasar por un control de seguridad formal administrado por el Ministerio de Justicia de Bulgaria. Una prisión activa opera en la isla hoy en día, junto con el parque conmemorativo, las ruinas romanas y la reserva natural. Su permiso, organizado en su nombre, debe registrarse con antelación. Sin ella, se deniega la entrada. Esto no es una reconstrucción de la historia. Es historia, todavía en uso.
Stop 3 - Lager 1 y Lager 2 : El Parque Conmemorativo Ubicación: Isla Persin, Belene Tiempo de parada: aprox. 1 hora 30 minutos De 1949 a 1989, más de 20.000 personas pasaron por los dos campamentos de Belene: intelectuales, sacerdotes, maestros, oficiales cuyo único delito era pensar libremente. Lo que queda se conserva como un parque conmemorativo - cimientos, alambre oxidado, posiciones de la torre de vigilancia, testimonios de los supervivientes. Su guía local de la isla, con una conexión de por vida con este lugar, camina por ambos sitios con testimonio personal y conocimiento vivido. Se nombran nombres. Se cuentan historias. La gente que se trae aquí no se reduce a estadísticas.
Parada 4 - Parque Natural Persina Ubicación : Isla Persin Oriental - Humedal designado Ramsar Tiempo de parada : aproximadamente 1 hora (sujeto a condiciones estacionales) Y luego la isla te sorprende completamente. El Parque Natural de Persina es uno de los mejores destinos de observación de aves en el sureste de Europa, hogar de más de 220 especies, incluidos pelícanos dálmatas, águilas marinas, cormoranes menores y gansos de pecho rojo. Los avistamientos de vida silvestre dependen de la estación y las condiciones y no se pueden garantizar, pero el propio paseo por los humedales -pasar del peso del parque conmemorativo a este extraordinario santuario natural- es una de las transiciones más inesperadas en el turismo búlgaro. Trae prismáticos.

This tour was so fun, I went with another friend and we had our tourguide Velko pick us up from the meeting point and drive us into the mountain where we trekked up Vitosha. We bought the snowshoes but we did not end up needing them in the end (a shame but can't be helped) as the snow wasn't that deep. The wind was quite strong on the day we hiked and so Velko gave us the options of going to the summit or going around a different way to avoid the wind, so we picked that. Velko was very talkative and knowledgeable and even though it was windy and we had a bit of a white out it was very fun and we all had a good time. We went to the cafe to have lunch and Velko told us which Bulgarian foods to try (they were very tasty) and then we went to the spa which was lovely (although bring your own shoes and towels). Overall we had a great day and the tour was one of our highlights of the trip, I recommend Velko as your guide :)
I was ready for the trip and when I came out, I found that I was the soul traveler for this tour in my guide ‘Velko’ was waiting for me and he made sure that I had the right clothing to be safe and warm. I felt like.’VIP’ not just because I was the only tourist, but Velko was great guide. He is expert on mountains and very professional. He made sure to show me and explained to me everything. He cared for my safety. He even took photos of me.’bonus’. So for me, this was the best organized tour ever that I will remember for a long time.
Kiril is a helpful and nice guide, I recommend everyone to try. Fun walk and breathtaking views
If you ever wonder which tour guide to chose, I truly recommend Dobrin! He's as good as his name suggests (dobri = good) or even better! He is reliable, punctual, professional, attentive to the gruoup's needs, super helpful, caring and very communicative, just fun to be around 👏 I would not be taking the time to write this if it wasn't all true 😀 Book your tour with Dobrin whenever you get a chance!
Lyobo was an awesome guide. Great workout. Entire experience was other worldly of you've never been hiking in the snow. We went during snowfall so no views of Sofia but even without that it was perfect. The hut at the top served some divine bulgarian soups and meat after making the ascend.
Velko is hands down the ultimate tour guide! From snowshoeing adventures in Vitosha Mountain to blissful dips in hot springs, every moment was an absolute blast. His wealth of historical knowledge kept us entertained and enlightened throughout the journey. Plus, his friendly demeanor made the whole experience feel like exploring with a long-lost buddy. Thanks to Velko, it was more than just a tour – it was a day filled with laughs, learning, and unforgettable memories!
This activity was one of the best experiences of my life. We had a guide called Dobrin he was extremely knowledgeable about the country and patient. We were two females travelling together and he made us both feel safe and secure in his hands. He made my friends Birthday a very special occasions by acknowledging her day and even singing birthday songs. We then were taken to the hot springs which again was so relaxing and peaceful. Dobrin is a safe driver and took care on the road to ensure our safety. I would strongly recommend this activity.
Best experience ever. Our tour guide Dobrin went to the extra mile to give us a memorable experience. We visited the top of the mountain, had a blast snowwalking hike, took great pictures and went to the hot water springs for a perfect finish to the trip
I really recommend this trip! We all had a great time, our guide Dobrin was very friendly, professional and caring he followed the team tempo and waited for everyone and also was very familiar with the mountain, was very interesting hike up to Vitosha mountain with panoramic view of Sofia! And at the end he take us to spa with very warm outdoor pool was perfect option to relax after the hiking!!
Had a blast trip. The entire trip was perfect. Dobrin, our guide is very knowledgeable and went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. We hiked in the snow for around 3 hours and Dobrin emanated to show us all the good spots. Would recommend to anyone who visits Bulgaria Thank you Dobrin for making my trip to Bulgaria memorable
