DISCOVERING THE MOUNTAINS & VALLEYS ON HORSE BACK


Trekking through the forests, coming across clearings that will allow you an amazing panoramic view of the mountain range across the valley.

This isn't part of the story line in a high budget film, its very real and its right here on our doorstep.


A FANTASTIC WAY TO SEE THE COUNTRYSIDE.


LINKS TO INTERESTING SITES INC FLIGHTS

Literally, just across the valley, and into the Rila mountains, you can trek through lush Pine forests, and along trails that take you high into the mountains, and into clearings that give you great views back across the valley to the Pirin mountain range.

For the more adventurous there are 2 or 3 day treks available. One of which is following old cart tracks over the mountains to the famous Rila Monastery.

 

With hundreds upon hundreds of old cart tracks, horse riding in the region is limitless.



 

If you are looking for the more rustic experience, you can head down the mountain to a village in the Kresna gorge. Here you can ride the 'Old fashion' Bulgarian way on wooden saddles and ropes for stirrups (no hats supplied). (The first time I tried this I was wondering what I had got myself into! But, believe it or not, it was quite comfy and very enjoyable).

 

Some of the treks available will take you into the foothills behind the Pirin mountains, where you can wind your way along tracks lined with Fig trees and through valleys of old Turkish villages now layed waste to the ravages of time.
