If you are searching for new adventures, if sport occupies an important part of your daily life, if your way to relax is related to motion, conquering of high peaks and new territories, Bulgaria will seem exceptionally attractive to you.
Conditions for practicing various sports and activities have been created along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. In almost every resort there are clubs which offer training and equipment for diving, surfing, kite-surfing, etc. It is possible to hire a boat, a jet or a yacht, regardless of whether you will only use it for hiking or for exciting fishing.
The mountains in Bulgaria cover one third of the territory of the country and offer their guests a thick network of eco paths to provide them the opportunity to research their remarkable beauties. Wonderful conditions have been established for alpinism in some mountain regions – in the region of the town of Vratsa, Lakatnik Rocks, Malyovitsa and many others.
You can also explore mountain on a horse back. There are equestrian facilities all over the country. They offer hiking and longer crossings with a guide along mountain or lowland areas. Along the Black Sea coast you can also make use of similar services. There is probably nothing more romantic than hiking on a horse back along the beach and facing sunset. Equestrian sport has been developing in the country for almost 90 years, and a round of the World Cup of Equestrian Sport is conducted in the town of Bozhurishte.
Those who are searching for more adrenalin must orient towards any of the more swift-flowing rivers in the country – Struma, Iskar, Mesta, etc. Rafting and kayaking descending are organized along the river currents in the region of Iskar and Kresna Gorge. Exceptionally exciting is the experience in the months of May and June, when the rivers are with the highest waters. The Black Sea offers conditions for diving and underwater fishing.
Another way to raise the level of adrenalin in your blood is to fly. The heights over the town of Sopot, for example, are some of the best places for practicing paragliding in Europe. Conditions for practicing paragliding and hang-gliding are also provided in the regions of Vitosha, Sliven, Kyustendil, Stara Zagora and Albena.
Two of the routes of the Eurovelo network, established by the European Biking Federation, also pass through the country. Those are Eurovelo 13, which passes along the length of the Iron Curtain, and Eurovelo 6, which follows the rivers Loire, Rein and Danube.
Bungee jumps are organized at the higher bridges in the country, as well as in the Prohodna cave. The feeling is unforgettable and it is remembered for life.
In the past few years Bulgaria established itself as a serious golf destination. Modern golf courses, designed by globally famous experts, function in the country. They are located in a number of areas – three along the Northern Black Sea coast, 3 in the region around the capital, one next to the mountain resort of Bansko and one near the town of Sliven.
