De Sofia : La Vallée des Roses&Koprivshtitsa Visite en petit groupe
Description
Il est peu connu que plus de 60% de l'huile de rose mondiale est produite dans quelques petites vallées bulgares nichées entre d'impressionnantes chaînes de montagnes. Il s'agit d'une excursion passionnante d'une journée complète qui vous emmènera dans un paysage féerique de champs de roses, de lavande et de tournesols dominé par les sommets accidentés de la montagne des Balkans. Votre guide vous dévoilera les secrets et la splendeur de la production bulgare d'huile de rose dans une distillerie renommée. Plus tard, vous visiterez également l'élégante église de style russe de la Nativité et si le temps le permet au pic Shipka pour de superbes vues panoramiques. Au retour, le trajet se fera sur une route différente avec des vues complètement différentes à contempler. Votre chauffeur anglophone vous arrêtera pour une courte pause à Koprvishtitsa, une petite ville présentant de la meilleure des façons l'architecture bulgare de la Renaissance.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Votre journée riche en activités commence à 7h00 avec une montée à bord d'un petit minibus (généralement avec Wi-Fi) pour vous diriger vers le sud et profiter d'une route panoramique à travers la campagne bulgare.
Vous rencontrerez votre guide local à Kazanluk. La ville est située au cœur de la Vallée des Roses où plus de 60% de l'huile de rose du monde est produite et plus d'huile de lavande que dans la célèbre Provence, en France. De là commence votre exploration guidée de la beauté naturelle luxuriante de la vallée située entre les chaînes de montagnes Balkan et Sredna Gora. Veuillez noter que les roses ne fleurissent qu'une fois par an de la mi-mai à la mi-juin. Pour le reste de l'année, vous ne pourrez pas observer les champs de roses en fleurs.
Vous visiterez la distillerie de roses de Damascena où l’ensemble du processus de cueillette de roses et de production d’huile de rose sera révélé et expliqué. Ce sera l'une des expériences les plus aromatiques que vous vivrez dans votre vie.
Si le temps le permet, vous serez conduits au monument Shipka d'où les vues fantastiques des deux côtés des montagnes des Balkans s'élargiront devant vous.
Koprivshtitsa est une ville vivante, mais également une réserve architecturale, située à 2 heures de route de la ville de Kazanluk. Vous aurez le temps de découvrir et d’émerveiller de manière indépendante les demeures du 19ème siècle qui font la renommée de la ville. Vous aurez le temps de vous dégourdir les jambes en longeant les rues pavées et les nombreux petits ponts.
Après un autre transfert de 2 heures, vous revenez au point d'origine, où votre visite a commencé le matin.

We had a truly wonderful experience on the Viator day trip to the Rose Valley and Koprivshtica. The entire tour was very well organised and offered a perfect blend of cultural immersion and scenic beauty. A special highlight was our tour guide, Maria, who was absolutely outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about her work, and communicated everything clearly in excellent English. What really stood out was her attentiveness and consideration for the needs and comfort of all her guests, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the Rose Festival. Participating in the rose picking in the fields was a unique and memorable experience. The festivities, with traditional folk dances and songs, created a vibrant and authentic atmosphere that truly captured the spirit of Bulgarian culture. Koprivshtica, on the other hand, offered a peaceful contrast. The village was quiet, beautifully preserved, and full of charm. The guided tour of the village was very informative and allowed us to appreciate its rich history and architecture. Overall, this was a very impressive tour that I would highly recommend. It perfectly combined cultural experiences, beautiful landscapes, and excellent guidance.
Small group tour with the absolutely AMAZING tour guide Maria, whose knowledge and passion made the whole experience enjoyable, worthwhile and memorable.

We had a fabulous day visiting the Valley of the Roses and Koprivshtitsa. It was an excellent tour.Chris was our guide and he had a great knowledge of yhe placescwe visited as well as the history of Bulgaria. He also gave a great social commentary about the way of life. We were so lucky to visit while the roses were flowering, it was amazing to stand amongst them and experience their beautiful scent and then see oil production. The Shipka monument and Koprivshtitsa were beautiful and the drive and the views were great.

I passed your kind words to Chris and he is really excited about them. We are happy to hear that you like everything on the tour and hope to see you again in our country! Safe travels, Annie Krumova
Very nice trip that will take you to Kazanlak to see the Damascena Ethnographic Complex, an old Thracian Tomb, the russian church in Shipka... Our guide Kristov was extremely nice and since we were only 2 people, me and my wife, and we had already seen Koprivshtitsa he kindly accepted to change the route and took us to Shipka monument and Gabrovo. A very nice day with a nice guide, recommended!
