Shipka - This tour will not only take you to significant places in the Balkans, but will also reveal some of his “culinary secrets”. In a casual setting you will enjoy dishes prepared on non-traditional and Balkan recipes. The so-called “delicious stops” are support points for key locations along the route and perhaps even just because these stops you will want to go the distance over and over again.
The Uzana area on the Balkan mountain ridge is a place where time seems stopped. The reliefs are soft and the Triglav massif (the second highest in Stara Planina after Botev peak) seems to be at your fingertips. Here it smells of grasses, herbs and wild strawberries, here is the Geographic center of Bulgaria! To the more ambitious we offer a small challenge - the climb of Peak Ispalin (1523 m). There you will step with one foot in the North and the other in South Bulgaria. The view is magnificent!

This journey not only presents noteworthy sites of the Balkans, but also unveils its ‘culinary mysteries’. You will relish non-conventional and Balkan dishes in a relaxed environment. The so-called ‘tasty halts’ serve as rest points at important sites throughout the tour, and might be the reason you will wish to undertake this journey repeatedly. The Uzana region on the Balkan mountain range is a place where it feels like time has paused. Smooth contours and the close proximity of the Triglav massif (second tallest in the Stara Planina following the Botev peak) are remarkable features. Here, you’ll experience the scent of grass, herbs, and wild strawberries, while standing at the Geographic center of Bulgaria! For those seeking a bit more excitement, we offer a slight challenge - the ascent of the Ispalin Peak (1523 m). Here, you will straddle the North and South of Bulgaria with an exceptional panorama!
