| Bulgaria offers a little bit
for all. Famous for it’s unique and gorgeous landscapes
it will give you the opportunity to spend a vacation of
a life time. No matter what you are looking for you will
find it here: from the wild mountain ranges and slopes
to the endless sandy beaches along the Black Sea coast.
Really, it is incredible that such a small territory has
so much to offer, no wonder they call it Switzerland of
the Balkans. Bulgaria was founded in the year 681AC, and
has a very interesting and intrigue history. Even more,
the people are friendly and known for their hospitality,
one will probably find nowhere else. |

that was created in the 19th century. |

idyllic village nestling in the folds of the Balkan Range, 16 km

have stopped hammering, the hearths have gone out, the well in the
square, the wax workshop and the St. Elija |
