Mountain Bike Tour
7 days | Biking 0 Comments | Write a commentA fantastic bike tour taking you through the breaking sites of Rila and Pirin Mountains. Enjoy the steep slopes and the rough downhills, while passing by fragrant meadows, listening to the kettles of the sheep and breathing the fresh mountain air. And in between, sample the local food, and in the secluded mountain regions, away from the big hotels- experience the hospitality of the small B&Bs.
