Bulgaria - Off the beaten track
Located on the Balkan peninsula with borders to Greece, Romania, Turkey, Macedonia, and Serbia, Bulgaria is a country of rich history. From Thracian tombs to orthodox cathedrals and communist-era memorial buildings – you will find it all in a small country. Today Bulgaria is a member of the European Union, mostly known for its coastal areas along the Black Sea. I, however, had the chance to visit slightly more unknown places (unknown at least outside of Bulgaria). From Sofia to sites like Belogradchik, Shipka, and Troyan in the Balkans to Bachkovo in the Rhodopes and into the Rila Mountains toward its famous 7 Lakes.
