Until my recent trip the only information I had about Bulgaria was from friends who had been there skiing. There views were not always complimentary. I had no idea that it had so much to offer for walkers. The scenery is amazing, the walking varied - from easy to challenging - and it's well
organised. The mountain huts are generally excellent and finding your way is easy. It's also incredibly good value and Bulgaria must be the cheapest place to go hiking in Europe. If you want a specific recommendation than have a look at the Rila/Pirin traverse. It's an epic 10 day
walk and
it's easily as
good as better known trails such as the Haute Route or the GR20 in Corsica.
