HORSE RIDING IN BULGARIA
The Balkan Mountains stretch for over 600 km and divide Bulgaria into two distinct halves. Lush meadows lie beneath high cliffs and alternate with dense forests. There are many interesting features: rock formations, caves, ancient trees and high jaw-dropping waterfalls. On the trail rides, you have the opportunity to visit monasteries and cross villages. We offer four different rides. Private groups (six or more) can request a custom ride.
