Highlights
  • Bojentsi - With this tour you will discover the “little secrets” of the Balkan - authentic villages, dense forests, splendid panoramas and numerous legends.
    We will lead you through the “most romantic village in Bulgaria” - Bozhentsi, but we will do it in a very special way: we will enter the village through the “back entrance” and leave it through the “window”. Bozhentsi has been declared an architectural and historical reserve more than fifty years ago, and the road passes along an old Roman highway. It is believed to have been there for more than a thousand and five hundred years. The panoramic part of the route leads parallel to the main Stara Planina ridge. The view to the south is majestic and the power of the Balkan is captivating. On the horizon are the highest peak in the Balkan Mountains - Botev, the Triglav massif and the second highest peak - Golyam Kademlia, the Uzana area and Mount Ispolin, Shipka, Buzludzha, Bedets, Tryavna and Elena Balkan!
    Special attention is paid to Torballagi - a small village with a special spirit and own legend. Here awaits a surprise that we will deliberately keep in secret!

Additional Information

Embark on this journey and unearth the ‘hidden treasures’ of the Balkan region - genuine hamlets, lush woodland, spectacular landscapes, and ample folklore. We’ll guide you through the ‘most love-infused hamlet in Bulgaria’ - Bozhentsi, but with a unique twist: we’ll sneak into the village via the ‘offbeat path’ and depart via the ‘escape route’. Over half a century ago, Bozhentsi was designated as an architectural and historical sanctuary, and the route meanders alongside a historic Roman route. The southern vistas are breathtaking, and the allure of the Balkan is truly enthralling. In sight are the tallest summit of the Balkan Range - Botev, the Triglav massif, and the runner-up peak - Golyam Kademlia, Uzana locale and Mount Ispolin, Shipka, Buzludzha, Bedets, Tryavna and Elena Balkan! Torballagi warrants special mention - a quaint village with its distinct character and personal folklore. In store is a surprise that we’ll purposely keep under wraps!
