Country property Bulgaria - Things to do |
||
The area is very laid back, and suitable for relaxation or even as a retreat. However, there is still plenty to do!
The property is lilterally one hundred yards from the edge of the Central Balkan National Park. There are marked tourist hiking routes from the village to a couple of huts on the ridge of the Balkan mountains (About 4-5 hours walking each way), which make for spectacular scenery. If it is a more leisurely view of the mountains you are wanting, a cable car can take you to the top from Sopot.
The Central Balkan mountain range offers a wide diversity of flora and fauna, widely recognised as one of the best in europe, confirmed by its status as an UNESCO world heritage site. The area also has good birdwatching opportunities. Guided Eco-tours are available. For an overview of this area, including the local flora and fauna, Click Here.
Paragliding: Sopot has become a top destination for hang-gliding and paragliding, hosting the world championships in 2005. It has unique climatic conditions which make soaring relatively easy. It is very cheap to undertake courses in paragliding and hang-gliding compared to the UK. For more information, click here
The property is centrally located within Bulgaria, so driving to the capital Sofia, Plovdiv, the southern ski resorts, the ancient capital Veliko Tarnovo, and local spa resorts (a bulgarian passion) etc. are all feasible day trips..
The resort of Beklemeto is about 20 minutes away by car. We should point out that this resort is not well developed for accomplished downhill skiers, and is more suitable for beginners. It does however have excellent facilities for cross country skiing, Biathlon, and ski-orieneering for the braver among you! The larger southern ski resorts are accessible as a day-trip
The local towns of Karlovo, Sopot, and Kalofer all have links to significant Bulgarian cultural and literary figures. There are archeologically significant thracian remains within about 45 minutes drive. There are many fine monestaries within a short drive.
The nearby town of Karlovo contains the Rose valley winery which produces uniquely flavoured wines, and can arrange tours on request. Being centrally located, most of the main wineries in Bulgaria are within a day trip. Hiring a driver is cheap if you want to drink!
The local hunting and fishing is reputedly excellent. Hunting is well managed to allow for sustainability.
