Bulgaria is one of Europe's biggest surprises, full of some wonderful landscapes and excellent trekking opportunities with Imaginative Traveller. The Pirin and Rodopi mountains provide some of the Balkans' most dramatic and untouched mountain vistas, perfect for hiking and discovering Bulgaria's remote rural communities and traditional cuisine.
A refuge for many exceptionally rare plants, as well as brown bears, wolves, wild cats and a prolific number of butterflies and birds, the Rodopi Mountains are hauntingly beautiful and are accessible from the village of Yagodina - close to Bulgaria's border with Greece.
