Overview

The Balkans are the longest chain in the peninsula - over 600 km. Dividing Bulgaria into two distinct halves, the Balkans amaze us with their spectacular natural sights: river canyons, rocks, forests and the high picks (the highest is 2376 m). These trail takes you to the North side of the Balkans in its central fore-mountains- the land of ancient historical, architectural and extraordinary natural landmarks.

The main goal of this carefully designed eXperience is to show you the best preserved castles, towers, monasteries and fortresses from the Middle Ages together with the old houses and traditional crafts and finally to leave you fascinated, while staying in front of the unique waterfalls and caves of the Devetaki plateau. All this eXperience will be supplemented by the fine Bulgarian wines and the delicious traditional dishes, fruits and vegetables, cultivated without any chemical treatment. The relief is various, but mainly smooth and pleasant for horseback riding and will give you the possibility to ride free of strain and to enjoy with all your senses the amazing sceneries of the nature.

Depart from the Riding Centre, located near to the town of Sevlievo, to the village of Skalsko, Dryanovo monastery, village of Ledenik, village of Emen, village of Kurpachevo, Krushuna's Waterfalls & The Magic Caves, Rositsa Lake and ride back to the Riding Centre.
