MTB Day Trip Rhodopes
€105.00 – €430.00
A particularly panoramic day trip starting from the town of Bansko. We offer not only a great natural and mountain biking experience, but also a cultural one as we visit one of the most remote areas of the Rhodope Mountains, inhabited mainly by local Muslims. Many of the small neighbourhoods in the area still lack paved road access and the lifestyle of the inhabitants hasn’t significantly changed during the last century. They still wear their traditional clothes, organize their life around the livestock and cropscultivation and use wooden and iron instruments to work on the farm lands. We’ll also use a unique type of transport to access the area – the famous narrow gauge train that connects Razlog Valley with the area of the second biggest Bulgarian city of Plovdiv, winding along the border of Rhodope and Rila Mountains.
