Practical guides to hiking and staying in Rila, Pirin, the Balkan range and the Rhodopes — written to help you pick a range, choose a hut, and plan the trip with confidence.
Bulgaria has four serious mountain ranges, a hut network that has been running for decades, and very little written about it in English. These guides fill that gap — which range suits your trip, which huts are worth booking, when to go, and how to reach the trailheads without a car.
The Alps are magnificent — and busy, and expensive. Bulgaria offers the same high peaks, hut-to-hut walking and alpine air, with more space and a fraction of the price.
