backcountry

Most of Nature Park Bulgarka qualifies as “backcountry,” being the forested hills, mountains and valleys of the Stara Planina, with paths and trails leading miles from nearby villages and roadways.

camping

Outdoor camping in Nature Park Bulgarka is permitted, however visitors are urged to use the hizha хижа, or mountain huts, available for overnight stays in the forests. Some of the trails through the park require several days to complete, necessitating either camping or use of the hizha. The hizha are maintained by the Bulgarian Tourist Union and use of the hizha is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Regardless of actual out-of-doors camping or using the hizha, overnight visitors are urged to follow a Leave-no-trace camping philosophy.
