What to Expect
Enchanting Natural Sites
We will hike along the beautifully equipped tourist trail along the Mladezhka River winding through the forest and rocks. You will see ice-cold springs gushing from the ground, learn about their healing properties, and visit mysterious cave sanctuaries. Climb the lookout tower, enjoy mystical landscapes, and capture incredible photos. Nearby, the famous 'Kissing Stones' await us – an arch rock, passing under which, according to legend, one can find happiness and harmony in personal life.
Local Fish Delicacies
Next, we will visit 'Ribarnik' – a fish farm on the Veleka River, where fish farmers cultivate river trout and carp in special ponds. In the cozy restaurant of the farm, we will take a break for lunch and try fish delicacies, discuss local traditions and national cuisine. And after lunch, if you wish, we will descend to the river to swim a little!

Our next stop is the unique village of Bryashtyan. This architectural reserve preserves untouched centuries-old houses built in the traditional Strandzha style.
