Two Days Visit of Rhodope Mountain Bulgaria | HD

Having visited the Alps multiple times in different countries, I felt it was time for me to show Rob the beauty of the Bulgarian mountains.
Our story today if about a short mountain getaway in the Rhodope mountains of Bulgaria.

Bulgaria is a country of lots of travel opportunities. There are so many places to visit:
• The seaside
• Various historical sights
• Different cultural festivals
• Modern day festivals
• Medieval villages

It is very difficult to pinpoint the best places to visit in Bulgaria, simple because they are so many.

Once of the reasons we chose Rhodope mountains is that there is so much to see and there is a lot to do even for a two day short visit.
The best way to experience Bulgaria, is to travel by car (in our opinion, based on experience). The rounds are picturesque, and there are plenty of interesting places to stop and rest on they way. Some of our favourite rest stops were:
• Kostenets Waterfall (on the way from Sofia to Velingrad)
• Shiroka Polyana dam – just pick a random locally owned café on the coast of the dam (from Velingrad to Yagodinska cave)
• Dospat Reservoir / Dospat dam – beautiful views over the water of the dam

During this short getaway, we explored three famous tourist attractions in Bulgaria:
• The Yagodinska cave - in Rhodope mountains
• The Devil’s throat cave - in Rhodope mountains
• Orlovo Oko / Eagle’s Eye - in Rhodope mountains

What made our time as tourist in Bulgaria memorable were also the activities organized by locals to amuse tourists and the locally owned cafes and restaurants.

There are a lot of places to visit in Bulgaria and the once we show in our story a definitely worth making into your tourist list for travel in Bulgaria.

If we can give one tip, that would be to carry cash, as a lot of the attractions cannot be paid by card, and trust us, you do not want to miss on amazing experiences because there are no ATM’s in the Bulgarian mountains 😊

So which do you think are the best places to visit in Bulgaria? Have you even been to the beautiful Rhodope mountains?

P.S.
Do not be afraid to drive in Bulgari, and in Rhodope mountains. All you need is patience and to follow the signs.
