A very underrated trip with a real focus on wildlife, and there is lots to see. The walking is spot on for a moderate trip but there is time to stop and take photos and learn about the area and the wildlife. Trails are good and very quiet. It’s definitely a place to get away from the rest of the world but with a homely hotel with good food at the end of the day.
Rodopi Mountains
Rodopi Trips
Exodus adventures to Bulgaria include tours to the Rodopi Mountains, the most extensive range in the country. A hauntingly beautiful and mysterious region and the legendary home of Orpheus, the area has changed very little over the past few hundred years.
The local economy is dependent on small-scale traditional agriculture, with farmers often working the land by hand or horse power. And a significant benefit of this basic way of life is the diverse range of flora and fauna that’s still found here, all of which you’ll seek out on Rodophi tours. The landscape changes dramatically throughout the region, from dense coniferous forest through to rugged limestone gorges, and it’s well known for its brown bears, wolves and wild cats, too.
