Best places: Nature preserves in Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Pine forest trails & mineral spring baths, plus winter sports on slopes accessible by ropeway.

Circular walk on boardwalks & steep steps through a narrow, forested gorge to dramatic cascades.

👍👍 Beautiful, beautiful place, perfect for a chill walk, on the sun, with stunning views along the way and especially at the end! Definitely one of the places that you should visit if you are near..

👍👍 Amazing lake which could be easily accessed by the cable car or by SUV due to the bad conditions of the road. There is a hut next to it where they cook amazing! Bezbog Lake is the starting point for the other lakes as well as the peak.

Mountain waterfall with clear blue pools at its foot, accessed by riverside trails through woodland.

👍👍 Very nice place for picnics in sunny days. It is easy to find the location, the road is not the best but from parking to the fortress is 5 minutes by foot. Very interesting and nice place with blue-green water! The only one negative thing i can say for this place and this is “Polluted - a lot of peo...

Wooden walkways weaving through a gorge & past a dramatic cascade falling into a blue-green pool.

Nature park spanning from inland forest to the Black Sea coast, with traditional villages & rivers.

Wooded river valley with a hiking trail passing tunnels, bridges, waterfalls & limestone cliffs.

👍👍 Amazing, surreal experience. Knowledgeable, friendly guide to help with spotting birds (helped us to spot white tailed eagle, pelicans), can’t thank Rado enough for providing us with a once in a life time opportunity!

👍👍 Easy access, beautiful waterfall. Don't miss!

👍👍 This magnificent waterfall is located just 5mins away from where you park the car and it’s 300 meters easy trail walk. There are 2 waterfalls and the big one is 8 meters tall and 4 meter water depth. Amazing sight and when I visited there were no other people. It’s best to visit early summer.

Fragile, spirelike clay & sandstone rock formations clustering on hillsides eroded by wind & rain.

👍 Impressive waterfall. A pity that it is so close to the main road and thus not offering picnic or resting areas close to it.

👍👍 The Stob Pyramids, a natural reserve, is definitely worth a visit when exploring the region in Bulgaria. The entrance fee of 3 Bulgarian Lev per person is quite reasonable considering the stunning experience it offers. The hike can be a bit steep towards the end, but there are several spots along th...

Group of 7 small mountain lakes set amid evergreen forest areas with camping, fishing & hiking.

👍 This is not a round trip. You need to pass through a field and then through a forest, it's about 20-30 minutes of walking. Then you will arrive the view point. There are really amazing views , that's it. The forest and the view point are full of rubbish. Why people are so lousy? stop selling the wet...

Expansive reserve of forests & river valleys, with medieval rock churches, hiking & birdwatching.

👍👍 Very beautiful waterfall. Great for camping. Park right in front of the waterfall.
