Year: 1995 Format: 13x21 Pages: 144 Photos: b/w Bulgaria is a paradise for walkers. The thousands of kilometers of trails link a network of huts between alpine meadows, forests and rocky ridges. The Vitosha and Rhodope mountains are rich in plants and animals rare in Europe, home to poets and revolutionaries who fought for modern Bulgaria. The hiker will find a unique solitude in Europe. The itineraries, in 7 mountain groups, vary from 30 days of the Stara Plania route which crosses the country, to the crossing of the Vitosha, which can be done in a weekend from Sofia, to daily excursions with information on local history and nature.
