Its favorable geographical location, at the geographical center of Bulgaria, it is easy to access from nearby cities, airports and railway stations from across the country. It is a "Nature Park" and not a national park - there is no controlled access, no gates and people may enter at any time. In that it functions like an American National Forest, rather than a park.
By car
Convenient roads connect the park to many surrounding municipalities and towns, including Gabrovo, Kazanluk, Stara Zagora, Tryavna and Veliko Tarnovo.
Western portions of the Nature Park Bulgarka are easiest to access by roadways. The E-85, which is a trans-European transport corridor running from Helsinki to Dimitrovgrad and connects Gabrovo to Kazanluk, provides access to Etar Architectural-Ethnographic Complex, the Sokolski Moistary, the mountain villages of Chervena Lokva and Vodotsi and the Shipka Monument.
By Railroad
Railroads provide access to the park from the cities of Stara Zagora, Tryavna and Veliko Tarnovo.
Eastern portions of the Nature Park Bulgarka are easiest to access by railroad. A Bulgarian Railway Line running from Gorna Orjahovica in the north passes to Plovdiv in the south passes through this portion of the park with stops at Plachkovtsi, close to the park, and the mountain village of Krastec inside the park.
