Walking in Bulgaria’s National Parks

A guide to walking and trekking in Bulgaria, Europe – in the Pirin, Rila and
Central Balkan national parks.

A guidebook to 12 multi-day treks in Bulgaria’s highest and wildest mountain
ranges in the Pirin, Rila and Central Balkan national parks. The treks are
aimed at fit, experienced mountain walkers, with steep ascents and exposed
scrambles. The routes range from 7 to 61km and include a full-day ascent of
Mount Vihren.

The walks in this guidebook are challenging and are aimed at fit, experienced
mountain walkers. The trails are often physically demanding, with long steep
ascents and descents, often over rocks and boulders. Furthermore, most of the
ridge walks require a good head for heights – especially the exposed scramble
along the Koncheto crest (Walk 12). Be sure to read the route description
carefully before setting out.
