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. These photos are from my first visit to this stunning country in 2018.
For more photos from the southern Bulgarian mountain regions of the Rhodope and Pirin mountains, have a look at my Rhodopean Explorer gallery.

Devetashka Cave
Only the first section of the cave is accessible, while the second is a breeding place for bats. During the communist regime the cave was used for military purposes. Some people claim the circles to be from fuel tanks, but Alien landingplace sounds so much more interesting...
