Mountain biking in Bulgaria- An Introduction

Strandja mountains and Eastern Rhodopes While mountain biking in the Sakar/Strandja/Eastern Rhodopes Mountains you will experience their vast territories of old pinewoods. The Sakar/Strandja/Eastern Rhodopes Mountains boast some of the loveliest mountain biking woods in the country. The landscape is gentle and rounded, perfect for a mountain biking family holiday, consisting of high ridges and deep river valleys with gorges intermingling with river basins and valleys. While mountain biking here, one can also find 70 percent of the world minerals, as well as some 600 caves. Flora and fauna contain species that have become extinct in other European countries. Our mountain biking tour of the Mountains will take you even higher, to around 2,000 m, or 6561 ft.

Most of the mileage is done on asphalt main roads, with relatively little traffic, that are well-suited for mountain biking. Along the way you can pick mushrooms and berries in the woods, as well as meeting some local inhabitants growing tobacco and potatoes, or see herds of sheep or goats coming down from the mountain at the end of the day.
