They can also provide local guides and help tailor-make unique walking and wildlife tours for private groups, societies and individuals.

Accommodation

There is no shortage of accommodation in Bulgaria, with alternatives for every taste and budget. Almost all towns have at least one hotel, and many of the mountain villages have small family-run guesthouses (semeini hoteli) or offer B&B (chastni kvartiri) accommodation. Such places tend to be comfortable, welcoming, and offer delicious homemade food.

Once into the mountains themselves, you will find an extensive network of mountain huts (hizhi). Standards of facilities and cleanliness tend to vary quite considerably, but they all offer a bed with sheets, pillow-cases and blankets. There are also quite a number of small ‘refuges’ (zasloni), usually unmanned, that offer a roof over your head if nothing else.
