Bike Exploration of Velijski Rhodopi

A particularly panoramic 2-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 remotest areas of Rhodope Mountains, inhabited mostly by local Muslims. Many of the small neighborhoods in the area still lack paved road access and the lifestyle of the inhabitants didn’t significantly change during the last century. They still wear their traditional clothes, organize their life around the lifestock and crops, and use wooden and iron instruments to cultivate 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.
